My husband applied on may 13th (for bridge open work permit but it is the same processing time) and today he got his visa approved!!!

Just so if anybody will have similar situation...with the application we submitted use of representative form for myself (my husband's english is not very good). On Monday they requested to send them that form again due to missing or unreadable informations...I checked it few times but everything seemed fine only my scanner was not working right so the text was a little bit blurry but in my opion still clear....anyway I filled it in again with the same info, sent on Tuesday morning and today we got it approved :))

will you need to show a job offer letter when applying from outside canada?
No you won't need a jobr offer since our PGWP is an open permit (confirmed by CIC Agent) you won't need a proof of financial support since you're coming to canada to make money. All what they will ask for is is a copy of your PGWP and the forms.
Today I got my PGWP by mail and it took 3 days to Calgary AB.
Applied May 11th
Approved July 10

Got mine approved too.
Just applied with the letter with no transcripts or nothing. I bet they did have to cross-check with my school to make sure I was a full-time.

If you are in the same situation dont panic. You should be all fine.

Applied May 13
Got approved today.
