Hi Everyone,
I applied for my PGWP through mail (paper based) on February 5th, 2019 and haven’t heard anything till now. Anyone with similar situation?

I believe paper based is another 10 days extra than the online application. You should hear something by next week.

Applied- Feb 9
Approved- May 13
PGWP until passport expiry, so until July 2020. I will have to renew it after I get a new passport. That's going to be another long process *sigh*. For now, this is a relief.

Quick question guys, I should update my SIN for sure once I get the permit, right? What about the TRV? Should I get a new one after I get the PGWP renewed? I don't have plans to leave the country until next year anyway.

I applied 3 days after you, I'll definitely get mine this week then. Unless they decide to skip my application like they had in some other cases.

I have same case like you. My application once rejected in December after new rules i have applied on the same date 14th Feb. So i am also waiting for my work permit for 6 months. Hope to get work permit this week.

Definitely update your SIN. TRV should be done as a back up - in case you need to leave the country urgently. You can do it now or next year, whenever you want.

It's crazy how they give any reason. What transcript did you submit this time? Same as the last time or did the University/you figure out what the error was?

They said Course Completion Detail was not mentioned in Transcript. I got the new transcript with all Details mentioned from University & submitted with all Required documents on 14th Feb. Hope to get this time otherwise i will be in big trouble.
