Any approvals today?

Congrats! Did they ask for a biometric while your application was in process?

Thanks so much!
They didn't ask for biometrics because I actually had them completed last year for a TRV.

Did you take 2 years diploma or 2 certificates combined to get to 2 years of studies? And how long the validity of your PGWP?

Applied July 20 from BC
Approved October 19

I was a Dual Masters student who studied full-time for 4.5 years. No biometrics were needed due to being an American.

My timeline
Applied pgwp on July 09
BSc. Nursing with the University of Alberta
I was part-time for one semester and then completely off for another semester. I was really worried about this but with a personal letter of explanation, letter of explanation/support from my school and plenty of God’s grace I finally got approved on October 19th.
For those waiting, keep trusting in Jesus…. You’ll get approved soon

Posting my timeline for other people waiting;
Applied PGWP July 17th, 2021 Inland,
I had one part time semester and a couple of other semesters I took off but I attached a letter of explanation detailing why,
I got approved October 18th for 3 years,
I got the approval email today but checked and saw that it was actually approved yesterday.
I was quite worried about my gaps but it came out okay. Keep hope alive guys, God'll see you through.

I did two degrees in Canada and so I was eligible for a 3 year work permit. My passport was expiring partway through though so that's why I was given a shorter work permit and was eligible to extend it once I renewed my passport.
