Hi, I want to extend my open work permit, but I'm in a bit of a strange situation.

I am currently on a Post Graduate Work Permit that expires in October. I was offered a new job which I start this coming Monday and I was wondering if it is possible to extend my work permit and what would I need for it? This is because I am looking to apply for PR, but if my permit expires in October, there is no way I can get a year in on my new job to apply. Thank you.

Your employer needs to get an approved LMIA for you to extend.
