did you happen to have any co-ops, part time studies or anything?

Not really. I did spend time outside the country during COVID, and I had to provide full time enrollment certificates for each semester because my program was research based so some semesters looked like I only took 1 course.

I want to know something urgently:
I have a gc key, I applied for PGWP, in September from inside Canada, I plan to travel to my home country in March 2022, I have a implied status work authorization letter which allows me to work starting with W306... Can I apply TRV with this letter, or do I have to wait for my work permit to come. I am worried as the TRV processing time is too much (150days). Please help

I think you should first wait for your pgwp, then apply for TRV. However, check with client center.

Applied 31 July with paying restoration fee because my study permit expired same day
Eligibility started today and just got approved.

If anyone from may or june still wait. Send them webform to push them process your application. Or asking support from local MP. I sent consent form to MP yesterday. Today my application got approved.

Hi everyone,
I have applied for my PGWP and am currently on implied status till Jan 2022. Can I travel to the USA and come back? Will they let me enter if I show the implied status letter?
Note: My TRV is expired too.

You cannot enter without a valid TRV or ETA - https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1309&top=15

Well......the processing time has now increased to 91 days.

It looks like they have started processing applications submitted in early August. Submitted in September, so my general assumption is mine will be looked at mid-December

I applied Aug 31.

I am a bit anxious but I hope that my application will be reviewed (and approved) soon. I have some job interviews next week
