I am watching a race between IRCC and WES, who will come first.
Are you sure they didn't have biometrics? My friend checked later and realized she had biometrics in the system due to an issue she faced last summer.
Applied on 21st April 2020
Got approved on 28th September 2020.
I didn't give Biometric. Not required.
Everyone will get it. Good luck! Be safe.

Hey guys, my work permit application was approved yesterday. I applied on April 17 (without biometrics) Good news is coming your way soon!
Here is Some good news !! Processing time for PGWP from inside Canada applications changed from 197 days to 183 days today !! Maybe this indicates they are speeding up the process .
PGWP was approved today (29 Sep 2020)!
I applied on 03 Apr 2020 within Canada without biometrics, which puts my processing time at 179 days.
Good luck to all still waiting

By the way, my work permit was approved for three years from today (the day of approval) not from the day of application. That means I can legally gain 3 years + 179 days of work experience in Canada.
This info may be relevant to those with shorter PGWPs hoping to gain a full year of experience.
Congrats!
Lots of people have been asking about this detail. Thanks for sharing.
Hey there
Just a quick question. I habe a job offer, applied on 28th May still processing and my employers wants the actual work permit for hiring. Then I told I was on an implied status and then she asked me for the sin number and that expires today. She told me she couldnt help me without valid sin. My study permit and sin both expire today. What doc should I present to her

Even when you receive your new work permit - your sin number should stay the same. So, feel free to provide her your current sin
