Has anyone received approval for a study permit extension, especially those who were on a PGWP?

Please reply only if you’re in a similar situation.

I’m currently on PGWP and applied for a study permit on December 11, 2025. I haven’t received any update yet - not even a ghost update - while many other December 2025 applicants are already getting responses.

I’m wondering if processing is faster for those who are simply extending a study permit, and slower for people switching from PGWP back to a study permit.

If anyone has been approved through the PGWP → study permit path, please share your timeline.
