Extending a Young Professionals Visa

[Captain007]

Hello everyone!

So, my Young Professionals, Visa that was activated in January 2018 will be coming to an end next year. I am doing research on extending my stay in Canada through Express Entry and have stumbled upon this information about extending a Young Professionals Visa:

You can apply to extend your International Experience Canada work permit if:

• you’re a Young Professional or an International Co-op (Internship) participant,
• your employer’s original offer of employment was for a shorter period of time than the amount you’re eligible for, and
• your new offer of employment is
  
  • for the remaining amount of time that you’re eligible for, and
  • with the same employer for the same job (including same location and duties).

You can’t extend your International Experience Canada work permit if:

• you’ve received a new offer of employment from the same employer to work in a different job or at a different address, or
• you want to change employers without a valid reason.

My question is: Can I extend my YP visa with the employer? My work permit was issued for a full duration, so 1 year. The statement above is a little confusing to me, do I need to comply with all 3 requirements above or can I extend the visa even though it was issued for a full year I was entitled to?

Thanks for your help.

No, you can't extend it beyond your entitlement. You have to meet all three conditions.
