PGWP extension due to passport expiry

[korort]

Hello everyone,

My passport expires in December 2025, so I received my PGWP valid until that time. I have since renewed my passport, which is now valid for 10 years. How can I apply for an extension of my PGWP? Is it mandatory to apply via paper application, or can I apply online? Has anyone recently applied online and successfully received their PGWP? Did any recent changes make the paper application mandatory for PGWP extensions?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

It is paper. The IRCC states that it MUS be done on paper. During Covid, they allowed if for a short time but it has always been done this way. From IRCC.

If you need to extend your PGWP or change its conditions
You must apply on paper if you’re extending or changing the conditions of your PGWP. You can only extend your PGWP if your passport expired before your PGWP’s validity period.

Apply Paper based and apply as soon as possible. It takes around 7 months to get decision.
(You can work even if your current work permit expires and you have submitted an application for extension). But you wouldn't be able to enter back in Canada as a worker (in case of travelling abroad)
