Received two updates today(one for the visitor and other for the owp). Yes, Sunday at about 3am Eastern time. I applied on Feb 8th. I won't be surprised if foreign visa offices are handling this owp program.

Hi everyone,
My PGWP expires on June 27,2021.. I have already applied for PR on May 19,2020 and it’s still in progress.. My spouse has OWP expires on the same day as mine June 27,2021... Now I am eligible to apply for both BOWP or PGWP Extension( I prefer PGWP extension as it has a validity of 18 months and its independent of PR)
Can you please suggest which one to apply and can I add my spouse as well in my PGWP extension application ?
If I can apply, what are the documents I need to provide them ?
Note: I am in NOC A level job for more than 2 years now.

I was told to restore even though I am technically on implied status due to a pending visitor extension application. So I chose to restore.

The restoration fees will be refunded once the visitor application gets approved. I heard they are approving both at the same time. Visitor for 3 months and OWP for 18.

Just follow the Come to Canada tool. They will setup your document checklist based on your answers.

My previous PGWP was already expired on Sep 2020. Hope it doesn’t affect to the processing time..because I heard some people still have valid PGWP got a temporary 2months visa after applying few days later. but I haven’t got anything yet..

Mine too expired in Sept. I received two updates early morning eastern time today. Hoping for some good news over the next 2-3days.
