Congrats! Did you have to call IRCC or send a webform to give you an answer/decision about your application at some point? or you just waited until they responded?

Thank you. Yes, I am in Ontario.

How long does it take to receive it by mail?

Waiting for someone who has applied without biometrics and successfully got approved. Deeply appreciate if you can share your timeline!

Is there someone who applied by mail and received approval or waiting or is that just me?

So you already had your biometrics before you applied right?

That is very disappointing on their side. They told us to do it by mail and they only process online ones. It is unfortunate to see this. I am in panic as my employer persists on having that and we are in the air. They could ask us to simply submit online, it was cheaper and faster. I am very disappointed on how they handle applications.

what officers check while giving pgwp and anyone who have already given biometrics and got within 7 days?

 

[ianrachkov]

I am not aware, I applied online.

I mean how long did it take to receive the permit physically after they accepted you?

I applied on May 9th without biometrics, no updates so far.

Same here, I applied 27th May without biometrics and still no updates.

Hello. I'm new here.

I applied for pgwp at the end of February online (inside Canada). I submitted all requirements as they asked including biometrics. I left messages on the IRCC web form twice after the normal processing time (86 days, you could check it on IRCC website). The first reply in June is we would inform all relative departments about my message. The last response in July is your application is still in processing. Online application status displays "reviewing eligibility, checking background and progressing application" more than two months or further.
My student visa is expired, when can I get the pgwp?

I've seen people on this thread who re-applied for PGWP online with a detailed explanation letter and got their second application approved within 7-14 days and they asked to cancel the first application.
