Hi everyone, I applied for my PGWP on Sep 22nd. Just now when I opened my application, there is a mistake I found ( I mentioned "NO" for the question - Have you taken a test from a Designated agency to assess your proficiency in English or French? ) As I actually wrote IELTS before, Answer must be Yes. Will this affect my work permit? Do I need to raise a Web form for this? Thanks in advance

Is your case any special than a normal one? Do yo I have gap in school years? Just wondering why it is taking so long for you,
yes and no.
I did a PEY coop (16 month internship) as a prerequisite to graduate. All my friends in the same situation got their wp approved months ago.
The only thing i can think of is that I took a part time course in the middle (completely optional and extra) and I did a summer intern

I still think it is taking too long to process your case!

I need help here. I received my PGWP last week and applied for the extension of TRV (by filling the form IMM 5257E)...I submitted my application today.

So, will I get the letter from IRCC requesting me to send them the passport through courier? After how many days, they ask for it?

The current processing time for TRV shows 61 days. Is this time period exclusive only for receiving the letter from IRCC (requesting for the passport) or does it include the total time IRCC will take to send me back the passport with an updated visa on it?

Can somebody reply to this query, please? Thanks in advance.

I believe the processing time applies only for the TRV to get approved. Sending the passport for stamping and getting it back should take about one or two weeks.

Hey guys,
I received a message saying my application has been transferred to the office in Etobicoke. Did those who apply receive a similar email?
