Cic website says completion letter

Unofficial or official transcript is needed.
There is no need to send official transcript

Before you can apply for a PGWP, you’ll need:

  • an official letter from your school that confirms you’ve completed your study program
  • an official transcript, or a copy of your transcript from your school’s website

Okay then it should be good. because when I applied there was only one option Of submitting completion letter. so what i did i combined both pdf (completion letter + unofficial transcript) together and attached it.
but thank you for your reply....
what i am hearing and saw on cic website that we don't need to hold valid study permit anymore for applying pgwp. is that correct? just for the information...

Applied on paper May 1, they received my application May 9. Still waiting. I started my full time job since May 1. Currently on implied status. Already a regular employee. Waiting game is just stressful!

I got my PGWP on Aug 24
Applied on May 17th
No update at all
Sent a webform on the 23rd
Just so you know guys the only pece of doc proving my graduation that I had submitted was the a letter saying that "Mr.X has finished his studies and is going to receive his degree on July 4th" no transcript or whatsover!
If they need more documents,they will ask for it, I have seen some people here misinforming others and saying things like "If you dont submitt your transcript,yout application will get rejected and stuff like that"

Just a quick question, so when you submitted your application, was there only one option for degree completion letter, or was another option for transcript and you just chose not to submit it? I mean, now there are two mandatory files need to be submitted, both the letter and the transcript.
 
After 109 days, Finally, I got approved yesterday. Eligibility started August 25th. My family also got approved: Work Permit for my wife and visitor for my 2 sons.

Hi everyone.
I had applied for pgwp on April 17 2019 and my file under review on 23 August 2019. still no change in the status.
I am worried about it. Is anybody in the same situation?
