How can we increase our work permit?

[akashpatelj09]

If we have a one year work permit, what are the chances of we can get it extended and what is the process to do so?

If there are any cases where there has been extension of the one year work permit, please share your experience and process

You can't just extend a work permit. You would need a job offer from an employer with a positive LMIA in order to apply for a closed work permit.

okay thanks
and after a certification course of 1 year, we would be eligible for only 1 year of open work permit right ?

Provided the course qualifies for a PGWP, yes. It is better to take a 2 year program to get a 3 year PGWP.

Alternatove would be 2x1 year qualifying courses back to back to qualify for a 3 year PGWP.
