PGWP EXPIRING & LMIA IN PROCESS

[Curious-Me]

My PGWP is expiring in May 2024. My company has already applied for LMIA in Feb. I am worried I wouldn't be able to get update from ESDC before my PGWP expires. I am considering to apply for the extension before my current permit expires. Regarding the work permit extension as mentioned on the IRCC website "You can apply without a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or a Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) if your work permit expires within 2 weeks of the date that you apply.

You must include both:

• proof of a valid job offer
• proof that the LMIA or CAQ request was made

Does this only apply for those who are already in LMIA based work permit and wanting to extend their work permit or is it eligible for PGWP also? If not what are my alternative options?

Please guide me. Thank you so much in advance.

Have a great day.
