Hello guys, finally got it! I applied from Edmonton after completing my 2 years Masters degree and received a 3 years work permit.

Applied: February 27, 2022
WP Extension Letter: February 28, 2022
Review Started: August 2, 2022
Approval Update: August 3, 2022
Approval Letter: August 4, 2022
Hard Copy Arrival: August 9, 2022

Days from Application to Approval Update: 158!

One of my friends who applied 10 days after me got his approval just a day after me. So, I'm thinking that they're probably processing them much faster now. All the best to all those waiting!

Cheers.
applied for SOWP Feb 28 still no update at the moment. PGWP already approved last July 13.

Hello

My question is ,I have applied for pgwp and recently IRCC asked me for a recent transcript. I don’t have access to my transcript because I haven’t finished paying my school fees due to my parents being sick .what I have is advisor transcript that shows my grades .is it possible to send that with an explanation letter

Hello all!

Applied: May 19
Permit expired: July 30
WP-EXT: May 20 (it says I can work until September 15)

Also I'm in the pool for EE and most probably I'll get an ITA on August 31 draw.

What should I do next to keep working? Since the working date on WP-EXT expires on September 15, will I have to switch to Visitor Visa or can I tell my employer that I have an ongoing application and keep working?

Or can I apply for Bridging OWP once I get an ITA? It also takes long (100 days), will I have a right to work while it's processing?

Please suggest me the best option, to keep my working status until my application gets approved.

Thank you!
