Let's share timeline, PGWP March applicant

[salmaniut]

Congrats bro!
My application approved too "Final decision: This application has been approved".
I didn't get the email, but I'll assume its not needed and I'm just gonna wait for the physical copy.

any idea on how long it might takes to be delivered?

Applied online February 1st
Blank updates on March and April 1st
Updated on 8th April
Online Approval 12th April
Now waiting for the email "if needed!" and the physical document.
Thank you all for your participation in this useful forum. However, I wish I knew about the flagpole before which could be done immediately instead of waiting for months. All you need is to prepare your document as you are applying online or on paper and go to the nearest US-CANADA border Period (10-30 mins max process)

Depends where you live. They will send it from Alberta. So, withing Alberta 2-3 days. Ontario 7-10 days.

Hi All,

I got the mail today for PGWP 3 year work permit

Applied online feb 4th
Blank updates march and april 4th
Updated 8th April
Mail received 12th April
Now waiting for physical delivery.

Thanks to all and be patient, things are definitely moving faster than before. for example people who filed in nov dec had to wait for 100+ days but it has dropped to around 65-70 days now.

Congrats.. Should we wait physical copy to apply TRV. Can we apply to TRV with the online validty document?

Gotta wait for the hard copy... the online pdf message serves only as an notification

Mericof,

As Imarchuang mentioned earlier you can't apply for a TRV without a physical copy of your PGWP.


**Also for anyone wanting to know how to apply for a TRV, please go to page 227 of this forum.


Cheers and good luck.

Is there anyone who applied in December that is yet to receive their pgwp?

Thank you for your response. I have another question about this matter; can i renew my SIN number without the physical copy, I mean with the pdf with the validty period?

Mericof,

Unfortunately you can't. You may try but I'm sure the agents at Service Canada will need to see a physical copy of your PGWP and Passport before they extend your SIN number to the expiry date of your PGWP.

Just give it a few more days, it will arrive.

Cheers!
