Hello NoorNoha,

I called up a CIC agent and they said you have to apply online. I told them some folks workaround and do so online so she said yea that's true but paper is the right way. May I know if you applied on paper or online?

I have both the completion of studies letter and original transcript scanned online. I can use that if I did the online application. For the paper application though, I will need to print the completion letter from the computer, I misplaced the original one. Can I use one year old letters or should I get a new one? I also saw no mention of a degree else I would have scanned or photocopied and used it.

I just want to get my post grad work permit extended asap as I need to then apply for a TRV. Your help is much appreciated!
Caution.. I applied online but early this week withdrew my application because a friend of my friend got his pgwp extension application (online) rejected after three months of waiting for a decision, saying he should apply thru 'mail'. While others got lucky and received approval of pgwp extension thru online application, we can not be certain it will apply to everyone. So just be a little cautious. Make sure you have plenty or enough time left of your pgwp validity before you apply for an online extension. Better be on longer implied status than deal with 'out of status' later.

Hi,

My visa is expiring this coming October, I will submit a paper base application 2 weeks before it expires so I will have longer time to be implied status, at the same time, while on implied status, I will wait for provincial nomination for international student or get an ITA.

Hello there,
Yes , I applied Online, I followed the same way as I did when I applied to get PGWP.
I submitted the completion letter which I received in my email with expired data.
Nothing new just the three paystubs .

Please if you still have any question don’t be hesitant ..

Good Luck

Hello Noor,

The most recent post about the rejection is a bit concerning. Can you share your timelines, when did you apply and when did you receive an approval? I just read on the link below that pgwp extensions if passports expires are to be paper applications. It also says 'we'll tell you if you need to extend it to get the full validity.' What does this mean? Did you have some comment on your first pgwp? Mine just says open work permit. I am guessing this was recently added to the website.

It's so confusing all this! Your help and insight is much appreciated.

Thanks!

    RE: Application for Post Graduation Work Permit Extension.

    Subject : Regarding extension of Post Graduate Student Work Permit


    Dear Officer ,


    My name is “Your Full Name” and I am currently on Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) “UXXXXXXXXX”, which expires on January 01 2015. I am an Indian national and my passport id is XXXXXXXX.


    I completed two years post secondary diploma in “Course Name” from “Institution Name” on January 01, 2015. My study permit id was “FXXXXXXXXX”. At the time when I applied for Post Graduate Work Permit in January 2015 my passport only had one year left to expiry date. I was granted PGWP for 11 months ending on 01 January 2015.


    My Indian passport has been reissued for 10 years, new passport number is XXXXXXX and it expires in 01/01/2025.


    I request you to consider my application for extension of my Post Graduation Work Permit for the remaining period taking into account duration of my two years post graduation diploma program.


    Thank you,


    Yours sincerely,

    Your Full Name

    Street Address,

    City Postal Code

    Province, Canada

    Cell: XXXXXXXXXX


    ----------------------------------------------------------
    Change the dates,write your name and all the information should you add ..

    Please let me know if you still need some help

    Good luck

I need advice, By mistake, I have not submitted a checklist form (Imm5583e) with my paperwork application to extend PGWP on the new passport. I know this is only a checklist form, which shows the number of documents we have attached whereas, I have included a letter to tell them the number of docus I have included in my paper application.

What you think, do I have to send that form again or wait for their response to come?

Anyone? do they return back my application or consider it and also in the paper-based application do I get an application number on my email?
