Got my Work Permit Approval.
Applied on 15th January 2022
I had raised web forms before asking for updates FYI
Great, I applied on 14th January 2022. I am hopeful this week or next I will get approval. At the same time I applied for PR also, the processing time says 22 months, will get grey hair by that time. o_O

Congratulations! So It is right most people who got their review eligibility will have their results a day after. except if it's weekend

Magically, the eligibility review just started. Hopefully we don't need to submit additional document. (PGWP was not there in the submission, but the information about PGWP application was there.)
Finally, SOWP approved.

PGWP (inland) timeline:
Applied: Sep. 29, 2021
Approved: Jan. 31, 2022 (Eligibility review the same date)
Received physical copy a week later.

SOWP (inland, extension) timeline:
Applied: Dec. 18, 2021 (after getting 3 pay stubs)
Eligibility review: May 11, 2022 (roughly 4 pm ET)
Approved: May 12, 2022 (roughly 11 am ET)
Waiting for the physical one.

You will get it this week, I had tortured them with Web Forms requests before, so don't know that pushed them or what :)

@jeffjay - so you applied for SOWP without your work permit and sent it via webform later. Is my understanding correct?

Yes. For SOWP application, we only submitted the PGWP application submission confirmation + all other necessary documents + letter of explanation. We tried submitting PGWP via webform after we got it. Never received a reply for webform.
