u can verify other applicants status here and please update yours
I got mine too!!
Applied - 09 Jan
Review eligibility - 5 April
Approved 9 April for 3 years
Province - NS
Program- 2 years Graduate Program
Experience with the application process and a key point:
1. I didn't receive any notifications from cic about change in my application status, neither for reviewing or approval. You have to manually login to mycic portal to check your status.
2. Check validity of the visa stamp on your passport (TRV) and expiration date before travelling outside Canada. If it expires while you are outside Canada, even though you have a valid work permit, you will not be allowed to enter Canada without a valid visa stamp on your passport and applying from home country is a tedious process because they will ask for a full time job offer in Canada and bio-metrics being introduced as an additional step prolongs it further.
All the best!
