In Similar Situation, Keep me posted bro. Study permit expiring on 31st November, hoping to get it before that.

Anyone who applied on 21 September and got some updates?
After applying for PGWP you are no longer on study permit. So if it expires doesn't effect anything, you can work full time.

Yes i certainly know that you are on implied status right after you apply for PGWP , I just mentioned before 31st out of anxiety to get it earlier:D. Thank you for your explanation though!

Applied and received Submission Confirmation on Sep 20, and Review of Eligibility changed to "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements" today. However, I haven't received the corresponding email communication yet. Hopefully it'll be approved today or tomorrow!

Gl everyone :)

Hi, everyone, I applied from PGWP in the 18th of Sept, but still no updates, I only get a letter request last Sunday to upload my official completion letter as I uploaded the official transcript only ( it is the only thing required in my application), I uploaded it the same day and they confirm receiving it, but since then nothing changed in my account , Do you think that requesting more documents will delay my application?

Follow up:
It hasn't been approved yet, and I need it for work starting next week, so I talked to an agent at CIC and she said there's a note saying that my file will take longer than the average processing time. She couldn't help me with the reason why, how long I should expect, or what I can do to expedite the process. It's frustrating, but I guess I just have to wait and hope for the best.

I applied on October 12th, accepted 13th.

Seems like they might process our application somewhere around Dec 23.
Since November 11, processing times are also not updated.
