Hi all, I applied my PGWP application on 15 december, 2019 and gave biometrics on 23rd december, 2019. It has been almost 4.5 months i have not got the decision, still waiting as showing your application is in process. My friends who applied their applications much late that is in January or February got approved. Can anyone guide me what can be the issue or someone in similar situation?
I am in similar situation. Waiting.

Guys, I have a question for those who have applied for SIN online. Does anyone know how they will provide the SIN details. Also, if anyone has received it please share the timelines for that too?

They say my file has been forwarded to find more infos , what do you think that means ? Does that happen often?
Hi Kodi! I am in the same situation that you were in (and are hopefully out of!) only I have had no response about why there is such a delay. I applied October 24th. How did you find out it was transferred? I am hoping to find any shred of info to figure out the status.

I got approved today. However, my timeline might not be relevant for the others, since mine is a spouse OWP and tied to my wife's PGWP. She applied on January 27th and was approved on April 28th.

My timeline:
Applied: February 10
Biometrics: February 20
Correspondence letter: May 4
Approved: May 5

I do think it's still early for those who gave their biometrics on February 20th to be approved, so I think they approved mine because they already processed my wife's PGWP and my permit is tied to hers.
