Hi, I'm in the exact situation right now. Would you mind giving the info about the lawyer as well? I'm really worried about my pgwpI would like to confirm this, I was in the same situation and my gap was way bigger about 2+ years and I did extend my study permit on the basis of of the gap and later I was issued 3+ years of work permit as well..
If you want I can give you the info of the lawyer who did all the process for me !
Dont stress out, everything g works out in this country and considering the current situations, everything related to IRCC is gold
