Help on Post Graduate Work Permit

[dolexd]

Hello,

I require help from you good people. I did two courses in Canada, one in 2012 - 2013 and another one in 2015.

However when I first applied for PGWP in 2013 I got rejected while others from my school got the PGWP, so I applied for another course in 2015 and after finishing my course I got a work permit for 8 months.

I was talking to a lawyer to try and apply for Express Entry Immigration when he told me I can get my PGWP extended through the course I did in 2013. He said he could file for extension based on the fact that other people from the school got their work permits except for me. He is charging quite a bit for that but I am not sure if you could do that. Since it's already two years past.

Can someone let me know if this is possible.

Thanks

You'll be wasting your money. The courses weren't taken back to back so you only qualify for the 8 months PGWP.

PGWP are also offered only once. So the chances of CIC extending it is very rare
