Hi,
I am eligible for a 3 year PGWP but my PGWP was only issued for 1 year 6 months due to the passport expiry. I have a remark on my PGWP saying that It was issued till passport expiry and that I am eligible for a 3 year PGWP. Meanwhile, I have been working and have applied for PR through express entry (CEC) . I submitted my PR application on July 20th 2018 and my PGWP expires on December 22nd 2018. Now, I am deciding what to do. Should I wait and hopefully my PR will come in time before December 22nd but that is only 5 months from the date I applied and CIC website says that the PR processing time is 6 months and less. So I could get it in time but there is a chance that it might not be approved by the time my PGWP expires. Or should I apply for an extension of PGWP, am I still eligible for a 3 year PGWP ? since my first PGWP wasn't issued for 3 years and has remarks on it. or am I not eligible for a 3 year PGWP anymore since I submitted my PR application. or lastly, should I be looking into getting a bridging work permit? This is the least favorite of mine since it requires getting an LMO which I am not sure if my company would be willing to provide.
Any help and advice in this matter will help me a lot.
Much appreciated.
