So I recently found out that they require a copy of stamps/visas on my passport. However, I lost 2 of my passports in the past 10 years and my current passport doesn't have any stamps. Therefore I just submitted my biography page and study permit.
I submitted a letter of explanation through web form mentioning my 2 lost passports, dates I'm sure I entered Canada through, and told them I requested a travel history report from CBSA which I will submit through the web form once I get it. Is there anything else I can do at this point?

I think you should be alright, you can always call IRCC call center and talk to an agent, they will tell you what to do in the case there is more.
PGWP Finally got approval!
Applied Jan 27, 2020
Eligibility Review July 6, 2020
Approved July 6, 2020
Total of 161 days since application submission and final decision.
I called IRCC so many times to follow up, also sent webforms a few times. It was very frustrating especially seeing others who applied later getting approval within 2/3 weeks with no progress of my own, so for anyone who is still awaiting a final decision after months, you will hear something soon. GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Congrats. When did you submit your biometrics and was it inland?
Thanks, my biometrics was given when I applied for my study visa in 2016 so I did not have to give again as it is valid for 10yrs.
Athough Service Canada is reopening, biometrics collection are still cancelled. Hopefully the next step will be allowing them. https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/where-to-give-biometrics.asp
Yeah I know, I'm just wondering how the appointment process works once biometrics collections are back. If we need to create a Service Canada account to make an appointment or something like that.
On mine it says very clearly "Before you go, you need to make an appointment."
It's not a huge issue, I'm sure it's very easy to do. I just wanted to be prepared.
your application is taking alot of time, most people in this period get a respond whithin 2-3 weeks. did you contact ircc; and what have they been telling you? did you apply by mail or online?
