Background started 11 March. Bio completed 23 March. Medical passed 5 April. eligibility started 13 April. That was literally the last update and it has been long silence for 3.5 months now. My application has been processing for 19.5 weeks and i’ll be completing my 5 months on 10 August. I am afraid of whatever result I am waiting and the time they are taking is too long. No updates for so long now. What should I do? @legalfalcon
You are facing typical processing times. Around 6 months is pretty typical processing time. Nothing you can do but wait.

We just got the approval for PGWP + SPOW (Extension) today. We applied in April last week. Having said that, I have a question about the restoration. I also applied for status restoration during our application, however, at the time of application the status was valid. Did I just pay the fee for no reason? Not sure if I had to apply for status restoration at the time of extension because I was already in consideration of the applied status after application.
If you applied for the extensions before the other permits expired there was no need to apply for restoration. Were both your WPs still valid when you applied for the extensions?

Due to anxiety issues. I applied for GCMS notes and only OTHER REQ: In Progress and Eligibility: Review Required has not completed. This is due to my PCC from home country it says pending outcome for clearance verification. My PCC from country of residence has been verified. Text was added on June 26. The last activity in GCMS Notes was July 24 with just my webforms.

I wanted to know if how long does PCC being verified? I am so anxious as my file has been reviewed and the only pending is the PCC verification from home country. What should I do now? My due date was 26 July 2023. My application will cross it's 5 months processing on 10 August.

Due date for the application? There is not exact date for processing just estimated time which can be longer or shorter than the estimated time.

Yes, I wasn't aware of it. It was valid while I applied. But IRCC has refunded the payment so all is good now.

Hi I am Emghie from Philippines, I already started my application for work permit in Canada but the job that I am applying it is a low job skill.
I am planning to bring my common law partner with me in Canada, but as per our regulated consultant since my job is tier 4 or low job skill,
my common law partner can't able to accompany me to Canada as the government still no update yet. We live together for more than 2 years now.
Do you have any idea how long my common partner will wait to come in Canada since he is already on my application?
