Hi guys,
My pgwp expired on July 2022 and I applied for extension with my husband under sowp and got confirmation letter saying that I can work till September 2022 or decision is made.. But I got email from IRCC today that i am eligible for the new pgwp extension program.
My question is how do I proceed further?
Should I withdraw my previous application?
Can someone help me with this please..
Thanks in advance.

Interim work authorization
August 10, 2022
Dear FIRSTNAME LASTNAME,
As a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) holder with work permit number W123456789, you may be eligible for a special facilitation measure under the PGWP Public Policy to allow you to stay and work in Canada.
The new measures for foreign nationals with expired or expiring post-graduation work permits and applicants to the temporary resident to permanent resident pathways – Canada.ca will temporarily exempt you from the requirement to hold a valid work permit in order to work in Canada. This exemption will be valid until May 31, 2023, and will enable you to work while you wait for a new work permit.
If you are in Canada, in order to help you start working as soon as possible, IRCC has granted Post-Graduation Work Permit holders with an expiry date between September 20, 2021 and December 31, 2022 an interim work authorization which allows you to continue working in Canada until May 31, 2023.
Please note that you must be physically in Canada to use this interim work authorization as it cannot be used to grant entry into Canada.
For more information and details about this new work permit or the interim work authorization, please visit www.canada.ca/interim-work-authorization
Sincerely,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

hey guyz, just for confirmation,
We pay the fees before and then just add the receipt to the document checklist . No need to pay after submission. During document submission, it will show all the amounts as 0 dollars right?
And the total fees with restoration is 355, not 455.

I believe it should be fine as long as your current address is the same as the address on your application for the expired/expiring PGWP. Or it could be a separate email to confirm the address.
hi guys, in IMM5710E, what should be selected as "Status" under Question 7, if your PGWP expired more than 90 days ago but applied to extend the status as a worker before PGWP expiration? Technically, I am on maintained/implied status but not sure if I need to select 'Worker' or 'Other' as Status for Q7.
Hi All, I have a work permit which was previously extended in the last public policy for 18 months. It is an Open Work Permit based on a PGWP. This work permit will expire at the end of October. Would I be eligible for the new public policy?
Hello!
I'm in the same boat as well. Did you happen to find out which one to select for status and date?
No, you aren't eligible unfortunately. Those who benefited from an extension under the previous policy do not qualify this time.
yes choose worker because you are an implied worker status. The other is if you need to restore.
