I know. I feel like I am becoming more and more anxious each day that passes by. I applied on May 7th and still without any update as to this date. And to think, all the people that I know already had their PGWPs approved.
I’m also from the May 07 with no answer from them. I am freaking out, more anxious every day, finally I found someone who is still waiting for the answer

Ouch, that's strange.
Usually if files are transferred it could be long.

Did you work without auth? Or study part time?

No, I started working my second semester and completed everything in normal time.
My only “issue” was that two paychecks my work paid as I worked 45h in 2 weeks, but I emails them and they corrected that mistake, they considered as I worked in 2 places the same day, which is impossible (I work at a school board). And I have proof that I did not worked more than 20h per week

Ok, so that's strange why it's been transferred. Hopefully nothing wrong.

They transferred one week after I applied, so maybe it was because of overload of applications.

I am so anxious about that, but I feel like if they were declined they would have done it already. My guess is that they “forgot”

I also would want to think that way, too. Anyway, I called them 2 weeks ago and the lady I spoke with told me to just wait. I also had sent 2 webforms last Friday but hadn't received any response yet to this day. I will try to call them tomorrow.

I sent one Monday, but I feel like they don’t really look at those web forms, a while ago I messaged them because I moved and weeks later when I called the first time they had my old address and no updates on that
