Hi guys! I applied May 15th. Eligibility review changed to: we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements on July 20. The application was approved today finally.

no problem! let me know how it goes... was thinking of doing the same since i applied abroad and waiting on a job offer myself.

I checked this and I don’t think I can apply under this as I don’t have any letter from the employer to support the application. I’ll ask the employer if they can provide some documentation. Thanks anyways!

If you don’t mind sharing, can you please tell what did you mention on the web form? Also, can we just raise a web form asking for an update?

Hey guys,
I was approved on 16th july but haven’t received my physical work permit yet. Now the problem is that I’m having to travel outside Canada tomorrow. What should I do?

Nothing you can do really. But do you have a valid visa? If yes maybe you are able to come back in September when travel restrictions are set to be lifted...? If no then it's gonna be a tough situation (maybe ircc can issue the permit outside of Canada? idk)

Hey,

I applied May 19th (inland) and there's no movement yet. I wasn't working full time then but i started working in June. Am I supposed to let IRCC know that I started working? I left the employment part blank when I filled out the PGWP forms.

No, you're good. We just have to wait for a little longer. I applied on May 21 and even the eligibility review hasn't started for me
