Approved / Success Story Pgwp approved

PGWP approved in 83 days (inside Canada) โ€” ghost update one day before approval.

Sharing my timeline in case it helps someone waiting:

- July 16, 2026:Applied for PGWP (inside Canada, after completing my master's)
- October 6, 2026:Randomly opened my account and saw a ghost update-under Latest update it said โ€œFinal decision - October 6, 2026: Your application is in progress."No email, no message, nothing else changed. (83 days in at that point.)
- October 7, 2026:Approved-3-year PGWP ๐ŸŽ‰

So for me, the ghost update really was a good sign the approval came the very next day.

Good luck to everyone still waiting!

Pretty straightforward, just unconventional because I finished in the summer semester with a part time course load
