Honestly, I don't need the PGWP, got my AOR on TR2PR, if that gets approved ( hopefully in 3-4 weeks), can save atleast $300 :(

IRCC is not designed to handler pressure. They instead postpone everything related to international immigration stuff. They work at ease

To clear some common concerns:
1) Sometimes, IRCC doesn't issue WP-EXT document. If someone has applied and doesn't have it, stay assured as long as you have a SUBMISSION CONFIRMATION, your application has been received by IRCC and you can work full time (provided you meet the criteria as stated on implied status).

2) Take into account a minimum of 60 days for sure, doesn't matter how much the processing time says.

3) Keep checking your portal. IRCC might not send out an email to update you (as it was in my case).

4) If your application has surpassed the nornal wait time, call IRCC around 9 am EST. If you leave a call back number, they will call you for sure. The agents are very friendly. Be very precise on what you want to ask. Don't puzzle up yourself and them. Have your WP application number ready and be prepared to answer some identification questions.

Good luck all.

I applied on 15th of May. Yesterday, the eligibility review was updated to: we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements. Since then, there is no change. I was expecting an update yesterday or today but nothing happened. Is this something I should worry about?
