They started processing applications from September, and I am still waiting since May. How does it make sense? :/
Hi, it could be possible that your application has been assigned to an inactive officer. A news was out a month ago that many work permit applications were assigned to inactive officers. The article also encourages people who have been waiting for a long period to apply for GCMS notes or ATIP to find out if that’s the case. Check out the news:

My sister submitted her PGWP on September 18 and received a confirmation on the same day.
She just received another confirmation submission today (just different date on the letter).
Anyone has same experience?
