Hey friends,
I think God that I can finally write this: I just checked this evening and I got approved. Truth is that being on this forum all this while, my outlook went from hope to jealousy to anxiety. That is part of the reason I have not been as active/engaged as I was when I first joined. I understand that it is not easy and to those who are waiting, especially those who have been waiting longer than me, I truly wish you good luck.

Enough of my sermon, summary:
App date: Aug 31, 2021
Residence: Inland, QC
Eligibility Review + Approval: Dec 15, 2021 (107 days)
3 Year PGWP
Could you please share your application number?

Have any applications started with W3061* got approved?

Please kindly share the timeline.

Thnks!
Sorry to disappoint you, but there's no point in tracking the application number.

When I applied for PGWP, W305666XX there were apps being approved W307587XX.

You have to know that W stands for ALL work permits, not just PGWP.

I know about the process and want to be calm about the time being taken currently, but my manager seems to be getting annoyed at this point because I can't provide a non-expired SIN before my PGWP arrives. I handle sensitive information at work and lot of applications and software package that I use needs special approval because I have not provided my SIN. Sorry about the long message but its frustrating that Service Canada doesn't understand that IRCC is taking decades to process the application and they should give extension on the SIN. Some answers would be helpful at this point. I wasn't employed when I applied (25th September), since then I have been working (NOC A), would attaching employment update be helpful or would it just delay even more at this point?
