Do I need to also apply for Temporary Resident Visa extension or does my work permit comes with it? Anyone with a clue?

Received document: May 11
Status updated: June 25.
approved today: June 26.
not get confirmed email yet.

Honestly, the processing speed for my application beyond my expectation. I didn't know it's so fast.

I viewed some replies posted last year. Most of the people submitted on May 11 were approved around July 11.

By the way, I also know some people submitted on April 30 are still waiting.

Be patient.

Thank you for all the answers. I changed my address after submitting pgwp application. I put a Toronto Address on my application and I need someone to get the work permit paper for me. I am wondering approximately how long will it take for mailing from CIC processing office vegreville Alberta to Toronto?

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Applied: May 12th
Update for review: June 26th
Final decision: June 27th - APPROVED!
- No email yet. It’s just on the summary box.

Hang in there! When I applied, the processing time was shorter and I did expect a decision on June 26th. Good luck everyone. I will update when I receive my permit.

Congrats bro! Mine application is accepted yesterday too. I am wondering did u end up changing your address waiting for approval. I am in the same boat. I changed my address while awaiting for decisions. I am concerned I might lost the physical copy since it is sent to my old mailbox which no longer belong to me. Do you have any advice? Thank you!

Hey, I never actually did it. I just asked my old roommates to watch out for it and receive it for me. I just told my old roommate that I got my approval today. She was a May 5th applicant, and she said she got hers in 2-3 days. So I’m expecting her to text me when it has arrived soon.
We were all international students so they knew the struggle.

Good luck though. Sorry I wish I could’ve given you a straight answer. But try to check in on your old place once you have your approval? Talk to the current tenants and tell them your situation.
