Hello , for the people who got their approval , how long does it take after the approval before you receive the work permit by post ? Do you get an electronic version of the work permit right away as well after the approval ?

Yes, we generally receive an electronic copy of the permit. There is no timeline as such how much it will take for the physical copy to arrive.

A slightly off topic qtn - Asking for a friend.
If u have completed a degree and applying for PGWP, have a job offer - can you create an express entry profile ? Would you be considered for like FSW without a 1 / 2 year work experience ? Also if u are hopeful of getting a Provincial nomination - can u create EE profile and wait for the extra 600 points after the provincial nomination is approved ? Any issues in creating an EE profile?

No, there's no electronic copy, you just get a permit mailed to your address.

It means that they have officially started the process, so they are likely reviewing your eligibility, (check the steps) you are going to receive the final decision soon.

I applied on May 5th, some of my friends did receive electronic copy in their ircc account stating that their application is approved and they will soon be getting their permit in mail. Not sure why I didn’t received.
