Open work permit Under Public Policy Timelines

[blam34]

My PGWP expires on august 12, 2021

May 15th - submitted PGWP extension application.

May 16th - I received an automated response for extension until September 11, 2021

June 4th - Profile was auto updated on - saying they were reviewing my eligibility

June 7th - PGWP extension approved!

Now I'm just waiting for the physical copy YAY!!

Hi Congrats! So just to confirm, you only got an extension for 1 month? Or the final decision is different? How many months of extension did you get in the end?
I've just got a similar auto response for extension until October 2021, PGWP expires on September 2021. I'm just worried that this is all I got for paying over $200 bucks for it.

No that's just a temporary extension given ...you should expect to hear from them within 4 to 5 weeks of submitting your application I guess?
I recieved the extension for 18 months ...until December 2022

Hi,

Could you guys clarify something for me?

"Due to COVID-19, you may be eligible to apply for a one-time open work permit of up to 18 months if you apply online by July 27, 2021.
Who can apply
To be eligible for this open work permit, you must meet the following 5 requirements:

1. Your post-graduation work permit (PGWP)
   1. expired on or after January 30, 2020, or
   2. will expire within 4 months from the date you apply for this open work permit."

So my friend's PGWP permit expires on December 19th 2021, Is she eligible to apply ?
PGWP expiring on or after Jan 30, 2020 can apply. so technically she is eligible, right?

On the date you apply, either PGWP should have been expired already or will expire within 4 months of it. So, if you apply on July 27 (which is the last date to apply for this), the PGWP must have been expired before July 27 or must be expiring before November 27, 2021. So your friend is not eligible under this public policy from my understanding.
