Btw, I have not received any email from CIC website yet. I just logged in to check my application status and saw that it's approved. I'll probably receive an email soon. Good luck everyone with your applications.

No email from IRCC yet. But online it says it's approved for the next 3 years. Thanks for sharing your timelines guys that really helped me the last few weeks. Good luck to everyone awaiting a decision. Seems like they're speeding things up.

Does anyone know what status changing from submitted to updated to submitted means? No document has been requested.

Did you get your decision by the way?

You'll get it this week.

Probably they are making some verifications from their side and it took longer in your cases.

Thank you, I was so worried as I transferred 33 credits from another university and had a year of exchange.

I thought I would get my PGWP for 8 months but fortunately I got it for 3.

Goodluck for the rest

Not got a message on my profile yet. How long does that take to come through generally?

After getting PGWP, do we need to update Visa on our passports? Because it is mentioned as student and expires on when my study permit ends.

One more , I applied PGWP on Sept 8th,hope currently Sept 2nd files are processing. I think I need to wait for more a week. please correct If I am wrong?
