I applied for pgwp extension. What did you end up doing?
Also we can finally get work permits issued for 18 months more soon.
But don't know how to convert existing extension application to the new one under policy when it comes out :/
Any idea anyone?

Minister Fraser also announced today a new temporary policy that will give recent international graduates with expiring temporary status an opportunity to stay in Canada longer, so that they can continue to gain work experience and have a better chance at qualifying for permanent residency. Starting in summer 2022, former international students who are in Canada and have a post-graduation work permit expiring between January and December 2022 will qualify for an additional open work permit of up to 18 months. We are exploring a simplified, expeditious process for this, and details will be made available in the weeks ahead.
Starting in mid-June, former international students in Canada whose post-graduation work permits expired or are expiring between Jan 31, 2022 and Dec 31, 2022, will be able to get an additional open work permit of up to 18 months duration.

it says "up to 18 months", what might be the factor that determines how long of an extension the applicant will get?
Most likely the validity of your passport. But we'll have to wait for the full details to be released to see.
How did you applied for an extension without being eligible? What options you chose?
