Hi All,

Currently, I have a PGWP which expires December 2016 due to my passport expiry and my wife currently has a OWP which expires on Dec 2106.
I have applied for a new passport and it should be on the way soon.
I have a full time job in NOC A category in Ontario
I am soon going to be applying for PGWP extension (paper based application) at Vegreville Alberta.

Is it possible to apply for my wife's OWP extension along with my application? If yes, could anyone help me with the list of documents and forms I would have to submit for my PGWP extension and my wife's OWP extension?

Thanks in advance, I really need this information as I cannot afford to go wrong with it.
Please help!!

After doing thorough online research and speaking to CIC agent, I submitted an online application for PGWP Extension due to passport expiry. I submitted my application on July 6, 2016 and received a positive response on July 21, 2016 receiving the pending 2 years + of the 3 years.

So all you need to do to apply is:
Fill out the questionnaire in the same manner as you would have done it for the initial PGWP application.
Add a letter of explanation with your current work permit, old passport and other educational documents.
Also attach your new passport and fill up the IMM form in the similar fashion.
Only in the section "Have you previously applied to remain in Canada", you need to write an explanation mentioning Work Permit was issued till passport expiry, have renewed my passport for further extensions.

Let me know if you have any questions.
