PGWP extension due to Passport expiry

[Sainadh_333]

Hello everyone,


I recently received my Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), which is valid until October 2025, due to the expiry date of my previous passport. I have since renewed my passport and am now looking to apply for a PGWP extension. I have a few questions regarding the process:

1. Is it mandatory to submit a paper application for the extension?
2. As I have already paid the fee for my initial PGWP, what is the exact fee required for the extension application?
3. If a paper application is required, what is the correct mailing address to send the application to?

I would appreciate any guidance or insights from those who have gone through a similar process. Thank you in advance!
