Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[NPreti8195]

How do we know that they are doing a background check and that it will take long?

under my "background check" it says "we are currently processing your background check" and under "eligibility review" it says "we are currently reviewing your eligibility"

Congrats of getting a 3-year permit from a 1-year program! Is your program originally more than one year long but you finished early? As I thought the 1 year program can only get 1 year permit.

No it is only 1 year program as it said on the offer letter, but in the letter of explanation I said it was 2 years,
