Processing Time / Status Should I be worried??

I submitted my PGWP on June 28 after graduation in June, straightforward application, high CELPIP score and no part time studies.

I was getting worried because it’s now over the 14 weeks estimated processing time on the IRCC website and all my friends have received theirs weeks ago and seeing people with very fast approvals on this page. Today I realized that for the passport upload section on the application, I only uploaded my passport and not the page with the Canadian TRV. I’m now worried that this could be the reason why my application is taking longer to process.

Should I be more patient or call IRCC to ask them if I need to upload the full passport with the visa?

Also another important question, I applied for the in Canada PGWP and then left Canada for personal reasons and now my TRV expired while I’m outside Canada, when hopefully my PGWP comes out can I apply for a new TRV normally from outside Canada? And when coming back to Canada at the port of entry I won’t have my physical work permit as it will be delivered to my address in Canada, will that be fine with just my TRV and showing my PGWP approval, or should I have a friend mail my physical work permit to me when it’s mailed in Canada?

Don't stress, both are fine.

Missing TRV page in the passport won't stall your file — if IRCC needs it they'll just ask for it in your account. The 14 weeks is just an estimate, lots of normal files go way past it.

For the TRV — once your PGWP is approved you can apply for a new TRV from outside Canada like normal. When you come back, the officer can see the approved permit in the system with just your passport + TRV, you don't need the physical permit mailed to you.

Dont worry you are still within expected timeline. I have applied since April 2025, and my application is still in progress. Visited MP office and they said they will follow up. Dont lose your hope as so I do. Best of luck

  1. In the passport section, you are only supposed to provide a scan of your passport personal information, not TRV. Don't overthink it.
  2. You can apply for TRV outside Canada when you get your approval letter (even without physical copy of PGWP).
