Why though?

Im sure all you need is an approved PGWP. You will get a doc stating the same, which should be enough for a travel to US and back.

Finally, after 6 months, it got approved.
Application: Jan 18.
Approval: Jul 19.
3-year PGWP, no e-mail, just a ghost update that went back to "submitted" after I checked it.
Now it says it is approved.

I hope you, folks still waiting for an update, receive your permits soon, before 180 days. It's nerve-challenging.
All the best to everyone.

Finally, we did it!

Mine was approved on July 18, but received the email notification on July 19.

Wait time: 6 Months and 5 days...

I applied via mail to extend my PGWP. On the home page, my app was received on Feb 1st.

For some reason, on the home page of CIC where it shows you all your apps, my date submitted says March. However when I open the application it says data received Feb 1st. My app was already received Feb 1st and Im wondering if anyone faced this before. Do I have to wait an extra month now?

It is being more than 180 days now since applied for pgwp.Still in the submitted stage. Anyone like the same situation?

How long will it take to get the hard copy of PGWP?

How long will it take to get the hard copy of PGWP?

Generally it takes around 5-7 working days
