Hi
I graduated from a Masted degree in Dec 2016. a Post Grad Work Permit was issued for me in Feb 2017 for 11 month due to my passport expiry. I got a full time job and want to extend my work permit. Could any of you kindly send a link of CIC for this matter to me? HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
they all seem to be to apply for a work permit.
thank you

Hello Roya,
Did CIC mention anything on your Remark at the bottom of your Work Permit?

Thank you soooo much. my confusion with this page is once I'm logged on to my profile it will ask for a reference code. otherwise I need to complete a survey to see if I'm eligible. am I on the right page?

yes, you are. Before to reach the form, first you have to give an answer to their questions and then the system will show you the options as per your given answers.

Hi
I completed the survey and it offers Express Entry! I need to extend my PGWP right now. I do not have valid IELTS degree and my job offer falls in C category so it's risky to apply only for Express Entry and wait. what am I supposed to do?
thank you

when I go for "extend your international...."
this seems to be right for my case:
You can apply to extend your work permit if:

  • your work permit was only valid until your passport expired.
I go for apply online and completed the survey which said I might be eligible for Express Entry. While I do not have valid IELTS or Nomination Certificate...
once I am logged on to my profile on CIC I have both Express Entry and also Work permit. I cannot use that reference code which belongs to express entry to apply for a work permit extension. What do I have to do?

I advise you to apply for extension anyway since you don't want to leave Canada. go for some part-time jobs at least. good luck
