Considering the pace at which applications are being processed, I guess you aren’t far from receiving the decision on your application if they process ones with expired permits at the same time as valid permit holders hopefully!I hope you hear back from them in a day or two!
My college took 6 weeks to send the documentation which includes the official transcript and the graduation letter. I was 4 days late to apply it on implied status :/

I was waiting for my official transcripts for a while. I got offered a part-time job at a local store so I had to go ahead and apply for the PGWP in order to start working. I applied with my unofficial transcript and the graduation letter and explained the delay by the college in the LoE.

Wishing you the best for your PGWP to be approved soon!

I had to apply with an unofficial transcript. Did you apply for the permits yourself?

I have a question regarding expired study permits.
I applied for my PGWP on day 90 after graduating. I did not apply to restore my status. I wasn’t sure if I had to.

Should I apply now?
What happens if they reject my PGWP?

$200 for restoration with $150 for an extension I guess. All in all I paid a total of around 600 dollars for the application.
Yea same. But you will get 150 dollars back for extension. I spoke to the local MP about my application. They said i had to only pay $200 to restore my status as a visitor. And the rest 340 dollars for the open work permit.
