Yeah, the ones who applied on July 26 got theirs processed already. So lucky ~

I guess it does depend on the processor too...

In the last few days I saw in the forum people that applied around June 6 - 14 getting approved. The application with pgwp + spouse has taken 3 months and days/weeks, that was I noticed here in the forum and Facebook groups. I am from June 27 in the same situation and I hope to get it in mid-October.

Thank you. Waiting is the hardest part. Hopefully, it is just a matter of time.
Have you provided payslips and letter from the employer for the spouse or just the main applicant?

Yes, employer wrote NOC category in the letter.
I think the officer gave me this one extra month so I can re-apply. In the first application, I have all the information for eligibility, except duties in the job offer. Maybe second reason - my kid has approved SP.
I am going to ask my employer for the letter this week. What’s the format? Will it be addressed to IRCC or to whom it may concern? Can you please give a summary of what this letter should entail?

I applied for a PGWP and my partner applied for a spouse open work permit on the 27th of June. No news yet.
Did you apply with a valid job offer for your spouse? Or does your spouse work in NOC A B 0, if not I suggest you do something about it, because they refused most permits for spouses without job offer from primary applicant

Are they checking if the job offer is still valid? What if we change the job after the application was already submitted?
