Hi, I got my PGWP (post graduate work permit) in July 2020 for only two years as my passport was only valid till then. I want to apply for extension of my PGWP and get the remaining one year. But the IRCC website says that can only be done if its stated on the work permit and mine doesn’t say so. Also, does it have to be on paper? Or can i do it online? I would really appreciate some advice on what I should do next! Thanks

I called IRCC. They said you can now apply for PGWP extension online because of COVID. Just write a letter of explanation, explaining your situation
