Hey there, I got my PGWP on June 2021. However, I was able to find a NOC B job by Feb 2022. On April 2022, they announced about the PGWP extension. So, I applied for a open work permit on May 29, 2022 and I still continued working in the same job. My employers lawyer also verified this information and let me continue. On first week of August the PGWP extension portal was officially announced. And I reapplied a new application just to be safe.
Most of the people who submited just one application before the rule was official got their work permit extension approved. But my 1st application got rejected in Oct 2022.
However, I'm still working and I have accumulated more than 1560 hours. And my express entry stands at 498 right now.
My concern is will my hours be valid if I get ITA within the next 2 draws?
