usually people get the approval the same day they get the review of eligibility, some get it the day after. That`s why i think
Mine is under review of eligibility since last week but no approval i got an thank you email from cic saying thank you for patience on your application I don’t know why they are taking too much time

Hi,

Applied on 18 may still waiting.
Called CIC saying that your file hasbeen transferred to your local office edmonton on 28 may.

Anyone know what does that mean?
Did you get your PGWP? My app is still in process and they are saying on the website that they are working on apps received on June 14...
Mine was received on June 1 and still nothing :(

did some of you have additional people under your application? maybe that's why it's taking too long? All I know is we can just wait & hope lol. Some applications process faster than the others depending on the visa officers maybe.

they asked me for additional document like Degree and Graduation letter. i don't know why they asked me for that i already submitted my transcript. that things happened on 19th July and then still i am waiting.
The longest it took for someone was 68 days on this forum (they had asked him for a letter too). I made a list of the average processing times for everyone who posted their approval on this forum. People have gotten their approval in 66, 65, 60 too.

So since they asked for additional documents, I don't think you need to worry - stay positive, they will approve it. Be happy they asked for additional documents instead of saying it was an incomplete application!
