I just paid the restoration fee and attached it with a LOE. On my ircc account it says we are reviewing your eligibility. And yesterday i just got a mail from the government saying that you study permit has been approved and a document has been sent. But it was issued only for a day.
That's correct.... and the reason your application got delayed then other PGWP is because of the restoration as it changes the category you applied for as it is considered as restoration application... don't worry you will get a reply in few days..

though wait until you get the work permit approved before you start working again... also the reason you got just 1 day approval for study permit is they restored you as a student so they can process the work permit.....

Copied from the website:



Biometric fee

If you meet one of the above 2 exemptions, you don’t have to pay the biometric fee when you submit your application, even if the system tells you to pay it.

If you paid the fee, we’ll automatically refund it once we finalize your application.
Thanks.. I had to pay for a bio fee, unfortunately. There was no button to change the amount when paying with credit card

Just got my permit approved for a year and half after only 12 days from the submission day. Like other people in this forum, i haven’t got any notification via email from CIC regarding this.

I studied for a year (3 semesters) and my passport expires in June 2022 so i guess that’s why they gave me a year an half
Yes, the same thing happened to me. They gave me a work permit for 1.5 years and even though I was eligible for 3 years. They added a note to my work permit that I can apply for an extension after my passport renewal.
