Did they deny the entry to you on the Indian or Canadian airport?

I’m in the same situation. I came back home in July and tried to return to Canada in October and could not get on the plane. I applied for my work permit June 5 and I’m still waiting for a response. Hopefully we hear back soon. All we can do now is wait.
Still waiting from June 5...all we can do is be patient. Any update on background check or anything?
Applied on August 2...inland from Quebec CIty...got approved today!
Just be patient guys and I pray for the waiting candidates that they may soon get their PGWP. This forum helped me a lot to follow the updates.

Just out of curiosity, does the PGWP status change at all in the GC account like it does with the PR application, or is it only updated once it's issued/rejected?
I applied Jun 2nd and still waiting. Lots of friends that applied after me already got it.
It's only updated when they start to review your eligibility and issue you the biometric correspondence letter, but that's usually only 0-1 day before the permit is issued
I also want to do the exact same thing. From my research, it seems that you can't apply for a new TRV without a valid study permit or work permit. So you cannot apply for it when you are on implied status. If someone has any experience with regards to this, it would be valuable to know. Thanks in advance!

According to this link, you can return to Canada as a student, as your study permit is valid for 90 days from the date you graduated. Even after the expiry of your study permit, you can return to Canada as a visitor when your PGWP is being processed, as long as your TRV (Temporary Resident Visa) is valid. Look at the visa stamp on your passport to know the expiry of your TRV. As your study permit was valid until 31July 2021, it is highly likely that your TRV is also valid till the same date.
Applied on August 15th.
