Thanks so much!
They didn't ask for biometrics because I actually had them completed last year for a TRV.
Did you take 2 years diploma or 2 certificates combined to get to 2 years of studies? And how long the validity of your PGWP?Thanks so much!

My timeline
Applied pgwp on July 09
BSc. Nursing with the University of Alberta
I was part-time for one semester and then completely off for another semester. I was really worried about this but with a personal letter of explanation, letter of explanation/support from my school and plenty of God’s grace I finally got approved on October 19th.
For those waiting, keep trusting in Jesus…. You’ll get approved soon

Posting my timeline for other people waiting;
Applied PGWP July 17th, 2021 Inland,
I had one part time semester and a couple of other semesters I took off but I attached a letter of explanation detailing why,
I got approved October 18th for 3 years,

I did two degrees in Canada and so I was eligible for a 3 year work permit. My passport was expiring partway through though so that's why I was given a shorter work permit and was eligible to extend it once I renewed my passport.
Final Update:
Application sent: July 16th, inland AB.
Eligibility Review: October 19th.
Approval: October 20th. (Just regularly checked my account)

A 3-year work permit as I studied for two years.
Good luck to everyone!
