i raised webform twice, for both they replied that , it is in progress and iam elgible to work as maintaing implied status in Canada. i tried to call them several times, but couldnot get anyone to talk
Is your case straight forward or you had anything to explain which would have raised a question otherwise?
Hey there,
this is perhaps off topic but still useful I believe.
I had submitted an online application to extend the SIN using online letter received from IRCC after PGWP approval.
The Service Canada has asked me to reapply for SIN extension because this document is not valid.
While I am yet to get a physical copy of Work Permit, which I think looks like Study Permit, so my question is will I need to visit Service Canada with actual Work Permit to get extension or is it possible to extend the SIN with an online application?

You can extend your sin online once you get the PGWP letter in mail. I applied about a week ago using the details from work permit (not the approval letter) and the extended sin letter was mailed to me within a week.
