Hi Guys! Applied for PGWP on Sept 5th. Ghost update today, status changed to "we are reviewing your eligibility.." so hopefully I'll hear some good news in the next few days.

Safe to say they are now processing those that applied in September.
Please update here when you receive it. Btw, did you get any email when eligibility review started?

They started processing applications from September, and I am still waiting since May. How does it make sense? :/
Hi, it could be possible that your application has been assigned to an inactive officer. A news was out a month ago that many work permit applications were assigned to inactive officers. The article also encourages people who have been waiting for a long period to apply for GCMS notes or ATIP to find out if that’s the case. Check out the news:

My sister submitted her PGWP on September 18 and received a confirmation on the same day.
She just received another confirmation submission today (just different date on the letter).
Anyone has same experience?
