Yes, there are many reasons. Usually TRVs for PGWP holders are quite straightforward and have no problems... but we have seen it all.

And you asked for "average", we have seen TRVs for PGWP going up to 3 months.

"Usually" it takes around 4-5 weeks for the whole process, but 2 months is common.

You should request the TRV at least 3 months in advance.

Dear Applicant

Thank you for your e-mail enquiry regarding your application for a temporary visitor/study/work visa.
Your application is still under review – Please note that this review is being done by outside agencies and hence, we do not control the processing time and are unable to expedite the file.
Rest assured, as soon as the review is completed, we will be notified immediately and action the file for next steps. As such, please do not send repetitive enquiries or emails regarding the status of your application as this may lead to further delays in general processing times.
We do understand the situation but kindly request your patience in this matter.
Thank you for your understanding.
Kind regard

No. You can take it as everything is under normal processing.
