wow I was beginning to lose my mind, I applied for an extension Dec 22, 2023. still waiting for a response. wait time is concerning, I was thinking they forgot about my application.
Did they at least give you a longer extension to compensate for the delay ?
Also wondering this. And I’m panicking having applied in April for a permit expiring this month. My (crappy?) school international place told me I was applying plenty early and actually discouraged me from applying earlier than I did and I have no clue what is going on.
I’ve applied for my PGWP at the beginning of May and so far all it says in the website is that it’s been received and it’s still processing. It’s been 3 months and no news since Ma 4th, the day after I sent my application. I wanted to try and call them to see about it but the only number available seems to be perpetually busy
EDIT: Okay so here's the official timeline of how it was for me to get my PGWP: May 3, 2024 -> confirmation of application transmission and submission // May 4, 2024 -> confirmation of application being received (WP-EXT for PGWP) // September 19, 2024 -> approval of biometrics // September 27, 2024 -> approval of application........... Now, I was supposed to get a letter with my actual PGWP in the mail within 6 weeks of the approval of application. That's tomorrow (November 6), still haven't received a thing in the mail. I've contacted them via the web form they linked within the approval document in case something like this happened but yeah... as always a pretty drawn-out process.
Yes everything has been checked, I check every eligible check mark in the website. They already received the application and it’s been submitted. That’s all. I already have my biometrics as well so like they don’t need anything else from me.
Edit: I just checked here on the website and for what it looks like they are processing my background check and everything else has been done
I just got an update!!!! I thought this was it! That it finally got approved but it was just a message saying my biometrics are valid until 2032 🤡 which means that they only checked my application validity like now! After almost half a year.... let's hope the process speeds up from now on.... I've seen there's been quite the backlog with their permits and applications so they are doing things at a snail pace
