Thank you for getting back to me :). I did just that today morning. I haven't gotten any automated response mail from IRCC, though. Any idea when that might come?

I currently have a letter/message in my application status dashboard with the title “WP-EXT only except PGWP”, which I think is not intended for those who have applied for PGWP. My friend's letter is titled "WP-EXT for PGWP" I have put in a request in the same web form asking them to send me an updated one. Will this in any way affect my status? As I'm currently working full-time.
Hi Andrew, did you get your work permit approved? Thanks

You don’t have to worry. Just call ircc they will guide you. I made the same mistake , the agent from ircc said that pgwp is an open permit only and i have uploaded transcripts and graduation letter and study permit, I’m fine . But still call ircc , worst to worst case you can withdraw and reapply immediately. Don’t worry, you’ll be finee
QUESTION 1. I have done the same mistake.how much time it took for you for PGWP after you talked to IRCC or raised a web form .
Question 2. My work permit got expired on 31 but will there be any problem
Question 3. What IRCC told or talked about this, what was your Conversation

Hello Members,

I made a mistake in my IMM5710 I selected "Open work Permit" instead of "Post Graduation Word Permit" in "What type of work permit are you applying for?". I am not sure what to do now. Should I withdraw the application and reapply again?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I have applied for PGWP in May 2023. However, I have just realized that I made a mistake in filling out the form. I selected "Open Work Permit" instead of "Post Graduation Work Permit". I also did not receive WP-EXT letter. I am worried about what to do and the decision on my application. Any response would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I also did the same mistake but don’t worry your work permit will come. For the safeside, you can submit webform by mentioning your this concern . I received my work permit almost after 5 months.

Hey, for that you can call IRCC and they will tell you what to do. I applied from outside canada and didn’t require wp-ext. so calling IRCC will be helpful. Like if you’re still within 90-180 something days you can withdraw and reapply. So first call IRCC. Good luck

Thank you for replying. I submitted the webform mentioning about the mistake. How long it took for you to get a response on the webform? When did you apply for the PGWP, and when did you come to know about the mistake?

I do not think reapplying would be a good idea for me because I have been working fulltime since the day I received my submission confirmation letter. This can cause bad impact on the result.

I was just checking my form 1 month after I applied and realised that I made a mistake. I didn’t raise a webform since it takes long. And I wanted an immediate answer so I called IRCC.

What did they respond when you called?
