Hello,everyone.
I finished my study at York University in Aug,2019.
in 2018, there was a strike happned at York U, so I was dropped to parttime because of the strike.
I applied for PGWP at 1st, Oct, 2019. However, I didn't submit an Explanation Letter about the strike.
Then, I got refused at 6th, Jan, 2020. The refusal letter shows that I was refused because of the parttime semester during the strike.
I lost my status when I was refused.
I called the IRCC call centre, the agent let me to reapplied by paper, and restore my status at the same time.
(I don't know why I should apply by paper, but I did it as she told me)
I reapplied PGWP and restored my status as student at 31st, Jan, 2020. (With an explanation lettter) By paper. Paid for $690 (PGWP+Restoration+Biometrics)

So far, I didn't get any updates. No received confirmation. No biometrics letter.
I even don't know whether my application has been received or not.
I have tried to call IRCC, but still no updats.
Could anyone tell me what can I do right now.
I was really upset and desperate.

Can anyone help? Thanks a lot.
Unfortunately there's really nothing more you can do right now other than wait for a response to your webform or try calling the IRCC help desk again. There is a very high volume of webforms right now due to COVID-19 so responses are likely taking much longer than normal.

I didn't get any received confirmation. Is it normal for paper application sent by mail?

I don't believe confirmations are sent. So yes, this sounds normal to me.
