Hi! I applied for Restoration and OWP/PGWP extension on Jan 27 under new public policy and was approved on Feb 22. I only received the approval letter, does anybody got the hard copy already? How many days til you received it? Also, can I start working while waiting for the hard copy?

Thanks in advance.

My PGWP is expiring on Sept 11, 2021. Am eligible for this new policy? I’m kinda confused by the deadline of July 27, 2021. Some people said if PGWP expires after this deadline then you’re not eligible. Is this correct?
