Extend PGWP Work Permit

[Harmanjot]

Hello Guys,

I have a concern please help !
What is the procedure now to extend the PGWP work permit as EE is operational now ?
Do we have to get LMIA in order to get closed work permit or just create a profile and give that profile number to extend the work permit ?


Please advise.

Thanks
Harman

The answer is NO.


Can I renew my post-graduation work permit in order to keep working while my Canadian Experience Class application is being processed?

The Post-Graduation Work Permit Program is a one-time opportunity for international students who graduate from certain Canadian post-secondary institutions. If you are awaiting a decision on your CEC application and your post-graduation work permit is about to expire, you may be able to apply for a bridging open work permit.

Bridging open work permits allow qualified applicants whose work permits are about to expire to keep working while they wait for a final decision on their permanent residence application.

If you are already in the PR process, you can apply for an extension to your open work permit:
check Operational Bulletin 485-A – September 19, 2013 on the CIC website (can't post link here apparently)

You have to have AOR in hand to extend your PGWP.
