Usually IRCC will not process if permit expires within 6 months. How are you eligible for an extension? Where did she apply from.

I can put my LMIA extension and raise web form in her application about mu extension. She applied from india. Also when we applied it was of 8 months. They are delaying the applications how come this can be the reason for rejection?

You said you were on a PGWP. So you have an approved LMIA and are applying for a closed work permit? If so apply for closed work permit and include her application for SOWP. Processing for a SOWP is at least 20 weeks for most people so within normal times. There is no delay.

When i apply it was 8 weeks, it got increased after. And yes im thinking to apply for closed work permit but also for me it will take 3-4 months to get my closed work permit approved. So can i use the temporary document which we recieve after applying and my lmia in her web form so that they should know i have extension?

You aren’t applying for an extension if on an open work permit. You are applying for a closed work permit with SOWP. What type of LMIA (high wage etc.)?
