Hi, Vadim26.
Would you mind sharing the answer you received on your question posted on May 7th, "Will I get 18-month extension FROM the date my PGWP expires or from the date my application for extension gets approved", please?
4 months extension is not a new work permit. It is just a letter from IRCC so that we can show our employer that we are authorized to work while we wait for decision on the new work permit. The new work permit, when issued, will be of 18-months in length.

Oh...thanks for understanding and sharing the info. So, did you put your federal PR application late or did you required a certain amount of work experience first before putting federal PR application? because if you have submitted your PR application at right time and you got your AOR so late, it means you were affected by COVID indirectly.
When i got my pgwp i was in ontario and i moved to manitoba after 1 year 8 months
Thats the reason i am pretty late but I already given my biometrics and medical in my pr application hopefully will receiving PR soon

Hi,
Just want to ask about the imm5710e. Does anyone know what to choose for section number 3.
I am applying for one or more of the following:(choices are)
Apply for a work permit with the same employer
Restore my status as a worker
Apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer
Get a new temporary resident permit
I currently have a Valid PGWP looking to extend my permit under public policy. My permit will expire June 2021.
I currently have a full-time job but planning to leave my job. I tried clicking both highlighted but it wont allow me.

Also on the employment section it is asking for END DATE for my employment. What do I put on the end date section?


Thank you for help.
