Hi all,
Thanks for sharing your updates! I applied for PWGP on Sep 18 from BC. Under Review of Eligibility, it says: "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements." I did not check this before, but what does this mean?

Thanks!

When i spoke to IRCC, the agent you guided me through asked me to pay the fees and attached the reciept with the Letter of Explanation when i submitted the pgwp application. But i wander they would accept that way. I am bit confused right now if i had to submit a separate application as the agent disnt ask me too. The mail which i have got from him states that and thats how i did it.
Yo! I just got approved! My lawyer sent me an email now! So my application was on the 15th of September and my approval comes through on the 7th of December!

In your GCKey account, if you view your application status, the Review of eligibility section will change from "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility." to something like "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements."
Thank you! It does in my application, submitted Sep 9. Hoping to hear from them soon.

Hey guys, I am wondering if the cases with gap years in school and LOE always take like 5-6 months to process? Anyone in this situation got approved within 3-4 months? Thanks!

Hey guys.

i am much worried right now. I submitted my PGWP application on Sep 9th,2020. On Dec06,2020 i received the correspondence letter but after that I did not receive any update yet. I have everything settled down and just got my first full time job and I am worried that my application will be rejected because i took a semester off on Fall 2017 due to the college strike and i did not include a explaination for it :( anybody give me some advice. I just sent a webform to have explaination for my gap

You should have sent your explanation earlier, but hope it reaches the officer before he decides anything

Applied Sept 18. Today I got an email that there was an update to my application, when I checked it now says "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements. " and also sent me a correspondence letter confirming my bio-metrics

When can I expect to receive approval?
