Apply for an open work permit under a public policy (PGWP extension)
- Thread starter RoTaBl
- Start date
My work permit was to be expired on 24th July so i applied on 3rd June got approval on 7th July
I was single applicant
I don’t think so COVID affected .
I applied federal paper based application
Got my file number last week.
No didn’t applied under tr to pr pathway
Why didn't you apply under express entry? Didn’t you have more than one year of experience? I am asking all these to evaluate my case because I had more than one year of experience and may not need to apply for a pgwp extension under this policy if I have applied for PR earlier. It also means I wasn't affected by COVID at all. But everything got delayed in my case because of the English exam.
I am very concerned because this policy was announced since people were affected by COVID and didn't get enough work experience to be eligible for PR. Even I wasn't affected and had enough work experience earlier to apply for PR. I applied under this policy because I couldn't find anything in the eligibility that says only affected people can apply.
My permit is expiring next week, and I haven't heard anything yet for the PGWP extension, worried if IRCC will approve it or not. If not then I will be out of status, which will create a lot of problems.

Hello
Bro i am working as long haul truck driver and my job is noc c so i am not eligible for express entry.
Oh...thanks for understanding and sharing the info. So, did you put your federal PR application late or did you required a certain amount of work experience first before putting federal PR application? because if you have submitted your PR application at right time and you got your AOR so late, it means you were affected by COVID indirectly.
Hi Hannah,Hi,
Just want to ask about the imm5710e. Does anyone know what to choose for section number 3.
I am applying for one or more of the followingchoices are)
Apply for a work permit with the same employer
Restore my status as a worker
Apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer
Get a new temporary resident permit
I currently have a Valid PGWP looking to extend my permit under public policy. My permit will expire June 2021.
I currently have a full-time job but planning to leave my job. I tried clicking both highlighted but it wont allow me.
Also on the employment section it is asking for END DATE for my employment. What do I put on the end date section?
Thank you for help.
Which option did you choose?
Thanks
Times are constantly increasing. 1.5 - 2 months back, it was like 14-20 days. Currently it is around 40 days. Yours should be approved late august or early September imo.
Hi, Vadim26.
Would you mind sharing the answer you received on your question posted on May 7th, "Will I get 18-month extension FROM the date my PGWP expires or from the date my application for extension gets approved", please?
