Applied May 29 inland without biometrics in Ontario
Eligibility review started today shortly before noon
Approved today afternoon for 3 years until 2023 October!

I was really worried that my application would get rejection because I completed my program practicums (4 months + 8 months) without a co-op work permit. My program coordinator had confirmed with me in the beginning of the program that the international student centre advised that I did not require a co-op work permit for a practicum as it was unpaid, but when I started my PGWP application and I went straight to the international student centre for assistance, they informed me that I did in fact require a co-op work permit and what I did may be considered "unauthorized work". I provided a LOE and a letter from my program stating the number of hours I completed for my practicum. Really fortunate that they are forgiving about my situation!

Did you apply twice or did something happen with your first permit?
