I am a May applicant and finally I got my PGWP approval on Nov 04 2015. I completed a two diploma and my passport is valid until December 2017. However, I only got a 1 YEAR PGWP which is expired Nov 4 2016. Any advice is appreciated? What can I do to extend this to a 3 years work permit just like all my other classmates.

Thanks so much!!!!

you should call CIC and talk to an officer and explain the situation. He might be able to ask for a reconsideration.
the number is 1-888-242-2100. wait until it gives you the options, then press 3, then press 2 and then press 0, you'll be contacted with an officer.

You could also send a case specific enquiry with a letter explaining the situation and asking for a reconsideration.

here is the link:

good luck!

If your passport is valid until 2017 Dec which is only 2 years , how can they issue you a PGWP of three years...renew your passport first..
Hope that helps..good luck.. :) :)
