Quick question! Do I need to submit an application for a work permit even if I have PGWP for 3 years?
Congratulation!! Nope. You can apply for closed work permit before PGWP expiring. Work permit support letter can be extended if you ask OINP.
6.1 Work Permit Support Letter
You may use your work permit support letter from the OINP to apply for a work permit from IRCC while your application for permanent residence is being processed.
Your work permit support letter document is valid for six (6) months. If you require an extension to your work permit and your work permit is due to expire within three (3) months, then you may submit a request for a work permit support letter extension.
To request an extension, please email the OINP at
ontarionominee@ontario.ca and provide the following information:
1. Copies of your two (2) most recent pay slips.
2. Scanned copy of your work permit.
The OINP will review your request and determine whether you continue to meet the conditions of your nomination.
