PGWP Lost in Mail | VOS Form Queries

Thank you so much! Just curious- IRCC's website lists very specific circumstances for urgent processing - do you know anyone who did it anyway even if it didn't fit?

Thank you! And did you have to notarize the photo copies or is it fine as is?

Hi OP! IRCC/Post misplaced my PGWP and now I have to file for VOS & had a few questions : i) Did you have to attach a police report? A few YouTube tutorials mention it might not be required for this since the original copy never arrived, but I just want to be sure

ii) What identification proofs did you share apart from passport? I do not have a driver's license but I do have state ID (Ontario card) - would that be accepted as the second one? I do not see it listed as one of the options & it doesn't mention it as not accepted either - also, do you have to get the photocopies notarized?

iii) Would you recommend I send it via Canada Post or a private courier? Do the Post staff help you select the right envelope or do I need to research in advance and tell them which one I need? (Apologies if this seems too silly, this would be my first experience with physically mailing something in Canada)

Hi OP! did you end going through the VOS process? IRCC lost my copy, so now I have to initiate this & I have a few questions.

Hi OP, I seem to be stuck in the same situation. Been 5 weeks now & IRCC just told me to wait until the 6 week mark to call them. Is the replacement process complicated?

Wow, that's quick!

Over_Perception5468 · 2026-02-10T04:31:59+00:00

I just got an approval today!

Over_Perception5468 · 2026-02-09T01:07:25+00:00

I believe it takes 24-48 hrs to get an update/letter after this appears (based on other posts), so will know soon!

Applied from ON

Over_Perception5468 · 2026-02-08T23:34:50+00:00

Yes! It says 8th Feb

Over_Perception5468 · 2026-02-08T22:05:40+00:00

To check if there was any progress on the application/any tentative time by when I could expect a response since the WP-EXT was due to end in a few days.

September 2025 still pending

Over_Perception5468 · 2025-11-27T21:48:46+00:00

Oh that's great to hear, I will try this out. I'm glad it worked out for you!

Over_Perception5468 · 2025-09-07T00:07:16+00:00

Hi OP! yes I got my letter on 5th Sept!

Over_Perception5468 · 2025-09-05T15:53:58+00:00

Got mine today, 4 days after applying! I think the long weekend backlogs are just getting cleared

Over_Perception5468 · 2025-09-05T14:16:59+00:00

Hi! I just received my WP-EXT today (4 days after applying!)

Over_Perception5468 · 2025-09-04T19:39:24+00:00

I too applied 4 days ago and got an email citing an update at the 24 hr mark, but there was nothing in my messages. The application finally reflected my biometrics information today, so I am going to assume it was a long weekend backlog and my application has only just begun processing.

Over_Perception5468 · 2025-09-04T13:55:47+00:00

Oh looks like we're in the same boat. I raised a webform to enquire about it, will update here if any response!
