Hey I checked my portal yesterday and it was changed to “final decision-August 18th,2026, your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.” I’ve checked today tho and haven’t received a correspondence letter or anything yet. I’ve seen people say I should know if I’m approved or refused 24-48 hours after a ghost update. I also feel like I only hear people who’s application has been approved say they received a correspondence letter.

I have a valid trv and applied for the PGWP on august 4th I have an emergency where I have to go back home for a week(august 22nd-30th). I was wondering if my PGWP is refused during the time if i’d be able to come back to canada. I believe I do have a slight chance of getting rejected as my transcript has “W” on it which can be interpreted as me not being full time however my university’s completion letter says I was full-time during all terms.

Back in 2022 I took 4.5 credits during the academic year( need 3 credits to be full time). However due to me failing a lot of those classes I chose to do a backdated withdrawal after the year was over(failed due to personal circumstances). My completion of studies letter from my University says I’m full-time for that year(because they count classes u took even if u did a backdated withdrawal, they just don’t add classes you dropped out of). Now an immigration lawyer is telling me I might still be refused because they might look at my transcript and see the “WDD” (even tho it says which week I dropped which was way later on and I have documentation to prove when I applied for the backdated.

Now I don’t know what IRCC will consider it as, has anyone been in a similar situation?
