PGWP approved for a duaration shorter than study in Canada

[R_P]

Hey folks,
I recently got my PGWP application approved for one year. This is after having completed two programs in Canada. A 1 year course (Sep 2018 - Aug 2019) and another 8 month program (Nov 2019 - June 2020) both full-time and from DLIs. Was hoping to get some advice on how to proceed and get a longer permit, I don't have a lot of work experience and rely heavily on a longer work permit to get enough points for PR.

Much appreciated
Thanks

Thanks for your advice. I have called them and they sent a message to the processing centre about my application and was asked to wait for 20-30 days. I was also considering going to a lawyer or a consultant which one would you think will serve better in my situation.

Lawyer to do what? Wait for their response. Did you write in your application letter that you want 3 years because you did 2 programs and did you include docs from both programs?

Just wanted to give an update and a thank you to those who helped out. After having called the IRCC Call Center and explaining the situation and also creating a web form ticket with a recently acquired certificate I was granted a new permit, this time a 3 yr long one!
