It’s a good idea, I was considering it. Did it work out ?
yes, it worked for me. It took almost 4 weeks, and before I called for instructions.

Supporting documents - Not included with the application
If you have an application in process in your online account and would like to provide additional documents (e.g., newly renewed passport), we invite you to:
  • Fill out the IRCC Web form available on our website,
  • Choose the applicable option located in the drop down menu under the heading Enquiry, and
  • Include
    • the document(s) in question, and
    • a brief description of the situation in the free-text box located at the bottom of the page,
      • please ensure to include this exact sentence in the description:
Please upload this additional document and attach it to my application.
It will be at the responsible office’s discretion to determine if the request to add additional document(s) is approved.

I also explained the situation in a Letter of Explanation.
You can write about "Canada Post is currently in labor negotiations" and you afraid that it can take time to get the paper copy of WP.

I see you from Ukraine too)

Yes, I am :)

Alright , thanks for your tips. We’ll probably do exactly the same thing and include a very detailed Letter of Explanation because there’s no other choice.

Hello everyone,

I applied on July 26th
Application was reviewed- not sure about the exact date
Application approved - yesterday on September 25th
I saw the update on the online system. Received an email of the change in status much later. Today in the evening (September 26th)

Three year work permit.

All the best and I’d say it was pretty accurate wth the current processing time 58 days. This is an invidual pgwp application. I’m guessing the cases wth spouse etc are taking longer

Hi. Has anyone who applied for Pgwp on or around June24 still waiting for approval? I have contacted cic using web gorm InwenI to the MPs office all keep saying the application is under review.
I am concerned because I changed my program from 3yr diploma to two certificate courses and the last semester that I was doing the diploma for I was only taking 3 courses.

How come the ones who applied after us already got their results? Maybe our processor is slow? =(

What kind of documents did you send to them? Letter of graduation or official transcript?
