Hi,
I am currently working full time after graduating. My work permit is until 25/03/2019, and my visa is until 24/03/2019. I studied 2 years full time and should have been granted a 3-year working permit. However, since my passport expires in 25/03/2019, they give me the working permit until that period. On the working permit, at the bottom of the page, there is a disclaimer/note that says something like "Expires with passport". I cannot renew my passport before applying for the PGWP because if it is not within 1 year until expiration, I cannot renew. So I applied and got only 2 year work permit. My question is: Can I extend my work permit an extra 1 year after I renew my passport in 2018? I have already applied for PR via OINP, they received my application in July 2017. Thank you.
