Edit: Hello Guys, Sorry for missing the introduction. My name is Huu Hoang Chinh, I heard that this thread contains useful information and help regarding the PGWP processing time.

I applied for PGWP on June 13, 2022. But there has not been any change regarding the process on my application displayed on IRCC. Is there anyway to know what is the problem with the process? I have contacted the IRCC before but there has been nothing much.

Flagpoling is an option, I remembered reading somewhere in this thread that someone flagpoled when his or herwork permit was already submitted online. You can then withdraw your online application afterwards. However, be very careful and do enough research before you make a decision.

If you are already employed, you can continue to work until you hear the final decision from IRCC, so (almost) nothing changes! In addition, you will have a brand new 3-year work permit starting from the day IRCC approves your application, so to me it is a win to wait. I understand your anxiety well as it happened to me.

wondering can we opt in this 18 month extension while waiting for the result of extension paper application (due to passport expire) back. Since My work visa is about to expire, if I opt in I can continue working.
