Hi,

I have applied on September 27, 2021 and still waiting for AOR or any sort of reply from IRCC.
Hey,

I suggest you call them, they should be able to give you an application number. They never gave me an AOR when I applied to extend mi PGWP. However, when I called them they provide me with the application number using my UCI. From there I was able to link the application.

Please can you share your timeline? How much time does they take to approve the PGWP extension?

Hey all, I will need to apply for a PGWP extension as soon as I get my new passport. Can anyone please confirm the following:

- the correct guide to use is this one: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5580-applying-work-permit-student-guide-paper.html#gather
- the address on this guide is correct??
- will I have implied status if I renew it within 30 days before expiry, even though the paper application does not provide proof of implied status?

I would be so, so grateful for any kind of help or advice. Thanks so much

I am looking to extend my PGWP because passport was getting expired.
Due to this, I did not received 3 full years of PGWP.
Now, when i am applying, there is a confusion, how much do i need to pay for the pgwp extension.
Is it $155 or $ 255 ($ 100 extra for open work permit)?

secondly, which address do i need to send it.

I recently applied for a PGWP extension due to a passport renewal. How do I know my paper application has been receipt?

Regards
I realize I am replying to an old thread, but hopefully you can confirm. Do we pay the fees again?

[EDIT] I saw on a previous message that it is, did anyone use this Online Payment (cic.gc.ca) site?

hi there,

I know this is an old thread too, but I just have a question about the mailing process. Can we chose any courier? I was thinking of sending it through Canada Post with their Expresspost large envelope. Or it should just be regular mail? Which one do they prefer?

Thank youuu

thank you so much! But one last question, where should I mail it? The older threads have been saying station 555 instead of 202. Which one is correct?
