May 18th, still waiting.
People should login and check since IRCC isn't sending emails in quick time.

Are we supposed to get an implied status letter before we start working fulltime while waiting for decision on application?

Just thought I'd share my timeline here:

May 6 - PGWP application
May 7 - Confirmation Receipt e-mail
No updates since then and checked my CIC account this morning and it says account update.
Logged in again this afternoon and PGWP has been approved. No e-mail in between and until now.
It just says approved on the portal.

Hope you guys get yours soon too.

I just have a question, as soon as we get our PGWP, can we apply for OHIP?
Another question is, I haven't gotten a passport request, is applying for TRV a separate application?

1. There are a few other requirements that you need to fulfill. You can google it from Ontario's page.

2. If you applied for PGWP inside Canada, then TRV is a separate application.

@Rafaelhag43 - Thank you! And can you help me with the processing time because i'm not sure if I selected the right category and it says 196 days? Can you confirm that? I appreciate your help.
