Applied 25 of April and received today email regarding final approval.
So stressful but finally.....
How come people from April 25th applications are getting approved now? When May 13th and 14th Applicants have also been approved? Can anyone explain that? Thanks!

Hello,
Is it possible to apply visitor visa in canada while waiting for the pgwp processing?
Thank You
Yes, but you can't work if you have visitor status.

It is usually applied by people who are out of status (study permit finished) and for some reason denied PGWP. (Incomplete application, officer not satsified etc.) And the processing time for in-Canada Visitor Visa is very quick, last I checked was a week.
But I hope no one has to do that and everyone gets approved before their study permit ends.
