Applied Sept 7, application updated today morning but no change at all in the profile. Is it normal?
Ya, these are called ghost updates. Usually means that your application is being actively worked on . Hopefully you should get more concrete updates in the next few days.

Finally Thank God An update!
Applied: June 5 inland
Background check update: about 2-3 weeks ago
Approval: December 3 for three years

I applied inland and travelled to my home country thinking I could return. I realize that I couldn’t and had to wait for my approval to return.
Best of luck to all, keep being patient.

Congrats! You may need to get a new TRV before you return, as inland applicants are not given a TRV when their PGWP is approved.

Thank you. Residents from my home country only need an eta instead of a TRV. So I was automatically given an eTA with my PGWP approval.

I applied on May 29th. No updates since then. Contacted local MP, they sent a request.
The response is " the officer is working on it..."
