This thread helps me a lot in renewing my PGWP due to passport expiry. My old PGWP only last 9 months from Jun 3, 2020 to Mar 13, 2021. Today I received my new PGWP, which is extended to Jun 3, 2023. So I'd like to share my experience here to help others. My application was made on paper. The whole process took about 2 months.

1. I followed the instructions on this CIC guide to collect documents and fill all the forms. When preparing the documents, just assume you are applying for the initial PGWP except that you have to provide your current PGWP information and an explanation letter.

2. My documents were sent to (via Canada Post Xpresspost)
Case Processing Centre in Edmonton
Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada
c/o Student Work Permits/New Employer, Station 555
9700 Jasper Avenue NW, Suite 55
Edmonton, AB T5J 4C3

3. The timeline of my application:
Mailed date: Jan 28, 2021
Delivered date: Feb 1, 2021
Linked to my online account: Feb 20, 2021
Approved: Mar 27, 2021
Received: Apr 1, 2021

I have the same anxious feeling while waiting for approval, afraid of being fired and kicked out of Canada. But don't worry, you can continue to work as long as you provide the mailing and payment receipt to your company. Everything gonna be fine!

Hello all. As I was about to initiate my application for PGWP Extention (after renewing my passport), I had a question about a change in my marital status. So after my studies when I had applied for my PGPW for the first time my marital status was "SINGLE" however now as I am planning to send my PGWP Extention application my current status has changed to "MARRIED".
So my question is if I mention this status change in IMM5710 do I also need to attach some proof (like my marriage certificate) or does just adding my status as married with my spouse's name on imm5710 would suffice. Thanks

Hi guys,

I made an PGWP extension online but I have seen some comments here that it could get rejected. Do you think if I need to reapply with a paper based application ? My work permit will expire in 3 weeks.
Thanks

Did you get the approval of the online application? I renewed my passport and looking to apply online, paper-based takes longer, for my remaining PGWP.

Hi Guys
My 1 yr PGWP is expiring in the end of August. I already submitted Paper based application twice (In May 2024 and In July 2024 )but IRCC says they haven't received yet. But when I call canada post, they says IRCC person already received my pakage and there is the signature of the receiver too. I am so stressed, I don't know what to do. Can anyone suggest what should I do?

Have you entered the correct address?

I found the below address from this post in comment section,

Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada
c/o Student Work Permits/New Employer, Station 555
9700 Jasper Avenue NW, Suite 55
Edmonton, AB T5J 4C3

If that’s correct then you can sent detailed email to IRCC using tracking link or the signature of the receiver or something that’s help them to find your application.

for paper application in the IMM5710e form when we click validate it generates bar code and says to sign on that page, but the bar code page do not have any sign and date fields, so do we have to sign here by hand?
