Hello Everyone,

I am eligible for a 3 year work permit - however, I received a Post Grad Work permit only til May 2019 ( Till my passport expiry date). I have a new Indian passport now - I am currently in India and now will be travelling to Canada in few days. (Have a valid TRV).

Can I get my PGWP extension at port of entry? or I have to apply online once I am in canada?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hey! Did your friend get the extension?

No he didn't. They told him they weren't gonna be able to issue it to him, it has to be done online. So he plans to apply online or by paper about 30 days prior to expiry.
