Thank you for sharing timelines and go to CIC website regularly.
They do not always send emails to you

In order to apply for TR, what is my status right now? Like I am worker

Wow! people who applied on 2nd june are getting approval and ones who applied on 1st june are not even getting any update. Are they even processing in sequence????

Hey folks,

I applied on June 1, got an update on August 16, and got approved shortly after on August 16.

Those that got approved, how soon did you get the actual permit by mail? How long did it take after your status changed to "Approved" online?

Also, anyone knows if you have to send your original passport to CIC when applying for TRV? Doesn't sound right to me.

Guys, I have the same question. Who knows how long does it take to receive PGWP by mail? I got approved on Aug 10 and still waiting for the mail in Toronto. Thanks

You apply for the TRV online and once a decision has been made you receive a message in your account that you print out and mail to CIC with your passport and a return envelope. It's usually very quick.

Thanks, TheHaiderRaja. That clears things up. Hopefully they will send out our permits soon; it seems like you can't apply for TRV or renew your SIN without the permit.

You can not renew your SIN without the actual permit, as for TRV - I'm not sure. I submitted the TRV application the day I received the permit and it was approved in 9 days.

You need to apply for TRV (Temporary Residence Visa) in order to get stamp on your passport.

I meant PGWP not TRV.

I think they send PGWP and Study Permits from Vegreville, Alberta, that is why it takes longer for those who lives in Toronto.

This is the address from where they send PGWP. 6212-55 Avenue, Vegreville, AB T9C 1W5

That mean they are working on your application and you will get your approval by tomorrow.

Really? I thought they're sending them from Ottawa.
Thank you anyway
Hopefully I'll get it soon!
