Applied online on January 11, 2022
Eligibility review started June 18, 2022
Application approved on June 20, 2022, for 3 years (2 years study program)

I have been regularly following this thread to get updates on the PGWP timeline so thank you very much all of you for providing updates regarding your applications. It helped me a lot to understand the actual timeline and not panic because my application had passed the average processing time a long time ago.

Also, I saw some people were confused about whether or not they can start a new job after their study permit/TRV and SIN are expired and the answer is yes (if you have already applied for PGWP and are on implied status). I accepted a job offer after my TRV and SIN were expired and I actually started working and received pay cheques as well and no issues. A lot of my other friends also did the same and had no issues so go on and start your dream jobs while waiting for a decision on your application because you can totally work on your implied status and start a new job even after the expiry of TRV and SIN.
But what if you applied when your PGWP study permit had expired though

Quick question, how does this eligibility started looks like:D
Mine says:
  • Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility.
The status will change to:
  • We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.

They will not notify you about this. You just have to log in and check.
