Hello Everyone
My name is Afshan and i want to thank everyone for sharing their timeline because it helped me alot.
I had to wait soooo long just like all of you to get my PGWP and in this time i also lost a good job :( but anyways my permit was approved today.
Just have faith guys it will come soon.

I applied for PGWP inside Canada.

Application: Online PGWP
Applied: 12 July
Confirmation: 13 July
Approved: 27 September 2017
Duration: 3 Years
Waiting Days: 77-78 Days
No official email yet but my CIC account shows the new expiry date of my permit and the final decision as "Approved"

I know many of you are waiting and the processing times are killing but hang in there because it looks like they are working on applications now.
Best of Luck to all of you and i hope you all get your permits soon.
:)

Hi Guys,

A quick question again!
So I mailed my passport for TRV (after approval of PGWP). My mail was delivered on Sept 22 but after that I did not receive any notification or anything from them. I am trying to track my return package as well but it shows no information available.

I was wondering if anyone can help me what should I do. Do they update our account after receiving our passport or not? Also, how long does it take to get our passport back.

Thanks in advance.
Hi how do you do this?I just recieved my PGWP, and I was wondering if I need to submit my passport, I did not read any instructions from CIC that I need to mail it.
