Haha you're right I'll correct it now! I forgot I'm currently using the timezone in my country (Philippines) which is in 22 right now. Thanks for the correction.

I applied via mail to extend my PGWP. On the home page, my app was received on Feb 1st.

For some reason, on the home page of CIC where it shows you all your apps, my date submitted says March. However when I open the application it says data received Feb 1st. My app was already received Feb 1st and Im wondering if anyone faced this before. Do I have to wait an extra month now?

Hey. Same with me.

The applications list shows June, even though I applied in May. I then realized that I linked the application in June, and that's why it shows that way. I believe it's the same case with you - applied in Feb and linked in March. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Your processing time started from Feb 1st, though, when they received your application.

Hi all,
Is it possible that the processing time might be more in case if your passport expires before the 3 year you are supposed to get?
I applied 4th Feb.
All my classmates, everyone I know mostly got the PGWP.
My Passport expires 2024 so I will get only 2 years. Does this take longer for them(IRCC) to sort out?
Thanks
