I've been following the timeline of this thread and that's what I have been able to infer.You sure? People said it's taking more than usual time. I am really scared.
Anyone had the same issue with me?

Go through this thread. I think someone had the same issue before and he got approved soon after. But double check
Every time I login into my cic account I see nothing. I don't see anything. Is it going to be the same until they update anything??
It doesn't even show that I filled my work permit form. After I got an email on Sept 25th that it has been updated, didn't get anything email after that.

Hi Everybody,
I have a question, I really appreciate if you could kindly help me.
I just completed my PhD and am going to apply for a PGWP. However, I noticed that the expiry date of my passport is Oct 2018. Given the fact that PGWP is up to 3 years and cannot be renewed, if I apply with my current passport, I can get work permit for only one year. If I want to renew my passport, it may take a couple of weeks. On the other hand, I found a job am currently working in a company. The CIC website states that the students who completed their program and applied for work permit are allowed to work. The question that I have is that is it legal if I work for a couple of weeks and then when I received my new passport, I apply for the work permit?
Thank you very much for your response.

As long as you don’t apply for your PGWP 90 days after receiving a notification from your school about completing your program, you are good.
