Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

Can someone let me know what's the next stage after getting PGWP approval? Should we mail our passport to IRCC?
So far, I haven't received any mail from IRCC. Not even an approval mail from them. It just reads as APPROVED in my account.

Hi,
You have to wait until we send you a written confirmation on your portal. Then you will receive your PGWP by mail. It can take up to six weeks for the paper version to arrive in your mailbox.
I got mine in less than a week, so you just have to be patient

Thank You! I just spoke with an ircc representative and they said they'll forward me the approval(confirmation) letter.

No, I received the submission confirmation on Sunday, i..e May 9th.
I think IRCC also counts weekends now.

Hello, I have a problem when applying for my pgwp. In the employment section I had an overlapping job, in my first job I had a vacation period for 2 weeks, but I started a new job during the vacation period and quit my first job after the end of my vacation, I want to ask if vacation periods count toward 20hrs of work period for students?

If you got paid during that period then I think yes.

The first week was a paid vacation, but the second week I wasn't paid.
