Post Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) current actual processing time

[imarchuang]

I applied online... I got around 5 blank updates.. status still shows open... the agent said it will show closed only when they mail out the hard copy

I see. This is really a frustrating wait.

Applied pgwp online on august 20 2015
Online approval march 17 2016
Waiting for mail to arrive.
After this long they atleast approved it i had lost all hopes and was planning to go back if they didnt came up with a decision.

Mailed all information to local M.P and they supported well and provided immediate feedback and information regarding my file status as cic was not answering properly on phone.
Hope who are waiting get theirs soon.

Can anyone help me out with this.
I got my post graduation work permit for 2 years after completing my course. I was suppose to get it for 3 years but due to my passport expiry date I got it less. Also I have a note on my work permit which says that I can extend my work permit after renewing the passport.
Now I have renewed my passport and waiting for the information to extend my work permit. I spoke to CIC agent and she sent me an email with the website where I can find application forms but it is not clear enough.
My question is
1) Do I have to apply online or is it going to be a paper based application ? I could not find online option as I am a worker and i do not have LMIA so it says I am not eligible.
2) Do i have to include my new passport scan copies or both new as well as old ?
3) If it is paper based application where do I exactly need to mail it ?

Please do let me know. I have time but I need to apply asap.

Thank You guys.
