As far as I know when you're submitting documents it sais either submit school transcript or the letter of completion. I submitted the transcript.
Yes, I know my chcecklist only said completion letter. However, later I uploaded the Transcript via web form to be safe. Also, I have seen people in this fourm being asked for Transacript when they were reviewing the eligibity.

So someone received their PGWP today, which means officers works on weekends?
No. It could be that the application was approved Friday but the message only came later. There's always a lag between the two. If you log on to check it should be "real time". For example I kept checking my TRV application and one morning I noticed the status change several times because that was the exact time the officer was working on my file. By the end of the day it was approved, but the approval message only came 1 day later.

Hi everyone,
Need your help. Just wanna know if someone has already applied for TRV after getting PGWP, what checklist does it create? Mine is only showing IMM 5257e and 5257b, Copy of work permit, passport and picture. Is that enough?
Does it ask for schedule 1? I'm not familar with the codes but for me they asked for the family info and schedule 1 which were "optional" but i filled them in anyway.

In any case the TRV from within Canada has very little documentation. Certainly no need to prove your finances or anything like that.

Hi !

I was approved for a year, which doesn’t make sense cause my passport does not expire in three years.

My program was for Two years!
Not sure what to do
Please reach them through webform with the proper documentation’s do not delay. Write a letter of explanation and send all information including your approval letter.

Hey guys,

I was hoping for some clarity on some issues. I have applied for my PGWP on June 27th and am awaiting a decision. In the meantime, my study permit and TRV are expiring at the end of August. Will I be directly have implied status or do I have to separately apply for it/apply to extend stay?

Thanks for your help in advance,

You were on implied status from the day you applied if you made a valid application, this is why you can work full time as soon as you apply.
Your implied status will continue until you receive a decision.

However your TRV is expired so if you leave Canada you cant come back until you get PGWP and then apply for new TRV.

Thank you for the info! I plan to stay in Canada until I get my PGWP so it shouldn't be a problem i guess.
