if u go for a 2 years straight course then the chance of getting work permit of 2 or more years is very high. in your case as u chose 1+1 pg course u got 1 year of work permit. let me tell u in this case the chance is 50-50

You can not extend a pgwp unless you've been issued a shorter time than elligible because your passport expiring.

You can only amend your pgwp if it's issued for a shorter time than elligible and you should do that ASAP.


Do a search within the forum as there are LOTS of advice on how to do that.
