Hi there
My work permit is expiring Jan 09, 2022. I am full time working but was unemployed from november 2019 to April 2020. Can I apply through this policy to extend my PGWP?

Hi there

The regulation for this public policy is saying:
-You may be eligible to apply for a one-time open work permit if you apply online by July 27, 2021.
-Your PGWP will expire within 4 months from the date you apply for this open work permit.

So you are NOT eligible to extend your work permit under this policy

BUT whenever you got the AOR from PNP application, you can apply for BOWP

Good luck!

Hi,

I've applied for my pgwp extension under public policy on January 27th 2021, but didn't recieved nor either my status has changed to reviewing. On Sunday morning when I randomly login to my account under status it showed "application/profile updated" and nothing has changed in my application. But today when I see my account the status has reverted to "submitted" status. Can I know what does it mean and what's going on with my application?

Thanks!!

Even I could see the option application/profile updated - then I checked the eligibility review section - which mentioned that we are reviewing your eligibility and after few hours received my approval.
I think something might happen to you as well :)

Oh but I got this ghost update on Sunday morning, which was a holiday. But again I checked today it reverted to submitted status. Don't know what going on with my application. My roommate who applied on Jan 29th he got approved yesterday.
