Thanks guys

how many days it takes to receive the physical work permit in mailbox??

I applied for PGWP on July 4th, got approval on October 24th. Got the physical work permit in the mail on the 28th, so it takes 3-4 business days to arrive via mail.
I applied for TRV on the 27th of October with just in Canada approval letter and less than 5k balance however included pay stubs and employment letter.

I was worried that since I didn't apply with the physical permit which I received just one day after submission. Rather than re-applying I decided to add my work permit via web form on October 30th.
TRV processing took longer than the posted one week time period, Got the letter to send passport via mail to Ottawa on November 7th.

Curious to know if anyone knows how long it takes to stamp passport with visa via Canada Post.

Hey man, Have you gotten your passport back ? and you said you submitted your TRV with the In Canada Approval Letter and they requested your passport ? I applied for TRV with my physical work permit since Nov 4th and nothing yet was wondering why.

Once she applies c/w pay stubs and job offer on noc you can work because both would be under implied status. If she does not get a job offer and get any certification from college she is automatically not student anymore, so you cannot work...
