Got mine today. The wait was long but finally it's over. I heard the rejection rate went up a lot this year so it defs added some thrills.

But here's my timeline
Applied: July 13
Confirmation: July 14
Approved: Sep 29
PGWP mailed in this morning. Took few days .. and I live in Toronto
thats good...congrats. I got mine in the mail today too after getting approval last week.

Hi Guys,

I just realized that I submitted only Bio Pages of my passport and totally forgot to submit visas, stamps etc pages for my PGWP.

Also, In background check section for question 2c "Have you previously applied to enter or remain in Canada"
I checked 'No' but the correct answer should be 'Yes'. I entered in Canada for the time on 01/09/2017 on my study permit.

How badly these stupid mistakes will effect my application. ?
