How they send refund to you? Is it an email?

It's not through email, It was Credited to the account that I used to pay the fees..

Not really... What’s weird is that I see many approvals for applications done after ours. Hope we get an answer soon

Hi Jay, first of all big congrats my friend. I want to ask you if you have applied for Open work permit with your old pgwp was expired? and did you applied restoration as well or visitor permit along ??

 

[Abhaygarg]

Guys what i am wondering if you have applied with restoration or visitor visa, your file get approved straight forward. Rest of applicant like me need to wait for couple of weeks. Or apply for visitor visa too to get both approved

I have a question, my pgwp is still valid for a week and I am still working with current employer. I have selected that I am applying under same employer instead of applying for first time or new employer!! Is it ok? What did you select? Should I change it? Is it possible to change it after submitting application?

@legalfalcon

If you have submitted your application, you cannot change it. Usually when you apply for the first time you select, applying for first time. However, if you are renewing, you will select same employer.

@legalfalcon Does IRCC always accept additional documents via Webcom (SOPW extension) or does it vary depending on the case?
