Hi, I on my PGWP, at employment location it is printed B.C, while at my classmates' it is all 'unknown'. After graduating from B.C I moved to Alberta for working. Now AB refused my Health Service application due to this mistake, they advised to contact IRRC to fix this but I do not know where can I start from IRRC website. Found it link :

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/permit/temporary/extend/after-apply.html

However, this is not for PGWP, tried to call IRRC but cannot catch up an agent.

Any help for this case appreciated, thanks

Every case is different, if a condition is written on your permit or Visa have to follow that. Why a mistake? Did IRCC sent you a letter correcting this before you changed from BC to Alberta?

It is a mistake because the PGWP does not bind Employment Location, it should be 'unknown' there. I checked many PGWP of my friends and all got 'unknown', except mine is BC

Ok fair enough. But you need to get it corrected before taking a step of moving out of province and not after it, so go ahead.

I do not realized that until I got refusal of AB Health Service and also do not know PGWP should have 'unknown' filled there. Then I borrowed my classmates' PGWP and realized it. I just submit a web form and wait. No idea what to do except for this
