Hello Guys,

Is there any way to track the hard copy of work permit. I am waiting since two weeks

My friend also waiting 14 days, postal service being slow in holiday seasons probably

Call the CSC - Client Support Center
Telephone: 1-888-242-2100 (in Canada only)
They should be able to verify if it's been processed and in line for review.

Been following this forum for a while and want to provide an update. Hopefully this will be helpful to others.
PGWP Applied - 4th November 2020 Approved - 23rd December 2020

I have had some unauthorized work and had a semester where I withdrew from all my classes midway due to personal issues. I only explained my withdrawal in the LOE. I did not find out till today about my approval when I got an email from cic. I wish you all the best of luck with all your permits and future work.
Just edited to add no biometrics/medicals

Congrats! That’s a big Christmas gift for you! How long is the gap you took for the semester where you withdrew courses?

Hi everyone, when is the right time to extend PGWP of less than 3 years validity and when its expiry date matches that of passport expiry date? Can you do it as soon as you renew the passport? Or, do you have to wait until around the time of expiry date?

The official site is not quite clear about the timing of the extension! Links, along with replies, are really appreciated.

Thanks!

You have to apply for the extension before your current PWGP expired to get an implied status like any permit but it's best to do so as soon as you get your passport renewed.

I got PGWP approval on 17 Dec, I called IRCC and they said the hardcopy was mailed on that day. It's been a week now and I have not received it... How long does it take ? I am in Toronto
