Hi - just adding that I received the processed status update today too. My application was acknowledged on Oct 11.

Hey @sairayasmin - thanks for replying. No I'm not covered in public policy. I'm just thinking about ways I can get a little more extension after my application gets refused..any ideas? Can I apply for the same work permit the second time? Are there any implications? I know I'll get refused...

@sairayasmin - I have also applied for extension of my PGWP, and I have got an interim work authorization. But if I receive a refusal, I can apply for restoration of Work Permit on the day it expires, and buy a few more weeks/months to work in Canada?

Hi everyone, was anyone's work permit originally expiring after Dec 31 (e.g. January 2024) and still got an extension? Also, what are the current processing times, is it ~75 days or more? Thanks

Grate @forw.jane , thanks for the answer. I just paid extortion money ($60) in the interest of convenience.

Hi - can someone let me know what happens if I don't pay the return courier fee or opt for drop-off service? Can I still go to the BLS and pick up my surrender certificate from there?

Yep, I'm one of them too. Test passed last updated Mar 29.

Hanging tight! My test updated was Mar 29, so 60 days already - scarborough office
