Congrats! Was it a one or two year program?

Any more approvals? I applied on 14th January and nothing yet. My 144 days will be completed tomorrow and the MP of my area will call IRCC to get an update. Cause last time when they called the IRCC had said that we haven’t opened the file yet.

Does anyone know how long it takes for the PGWP to arrive by mail?

Two web forms and they didn’t reply any of them. Both got auto replies saying processing office will contact in case more information is needed. The call centre said same thing and I have requested GCMS notes.

How do you request GCMS notes? Is there a link for that? Thank you!

I read here that it should arrive in two weeks. Sorry, I don't remember who has posted this info.

December 24 inland, no update no review. I’m expecting the processing time will go up significantly in this weeks’ update.

Did you try to reach your MP and/or raise a webform?

Fingers crossed! I think that MP actions should speed up the process.

Can you please share how did you approach your local mp? Did you have to go in person or send an email describing the situation? I am currently on my 127 days and I am planning to contact them eventually if there's no update soon.

Hello,

May I ask what do you mean by pay slip? Also, while applying did you attach a medical report with it as well?

As a requirement for SOWP application...

Hello,

If it’s 127 days then do not contact now. As soon as 144 days are completed then you should contact them. I just called and then sent an email too with my details like DOB, UCI and application.
