    SOWP only valid for one year

    Hello, I received my SOWP. But it's only valid for one year. At the bottom it says that the 4 year maximum rule applies. I'm holding a three-year PGWP so that would make sense.

    Hi, I've already submitted my SOWP application. When I went through my IMM5710 form today I noticed that I selected "A work permit with the same employer".
