I read your response with interest as my PGWP is also expiring Dec 31, 2024 because the validity was restricted due to passport expiry. I renwed passport and applied for PGWP extension. Is that no longer an option? Also I applied online, some commenters on the forum advised applying on paper but others have had theres renew online. I am still awaiting for PGWP renewal, I submitted beginning of July. Should i apply for a BOWP instead?

If your PGWP was initially issued with a shorter validity due to your passport’s expiration, you may indeed be eligible for an extension now that you have a renewed passport. Since you’ve applied online, you’re still following a valid process, and many applicants have successfully received extensions through online applications. IRCC typically advises that either method (online or paper) is valid, though paper applications are sometimes noted to take longer to process.
If your PGWP renewal application is still pending, you can maintain your work status under implied status as long as you applied before your current PGWP expired. This allows you to continue working until you receive a decision.
If IRCC approves your renewal, they should extend your PGWP until the maximum allowable duration (usually up to three years from your initial issuance, depending on your program length). However, if the processing takes longer, you might also consider looking into the Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) option, especially if your PR application is still in progress by the end of your PGWP extension. This can ensure continuous work authorization until you receive your PR decision.

I need your help and review in below point...
I have submitted my NON EE with my spouse and didn't receive AOR
My question is I didn't attached my previous work experience proof where I worked in lMM 5669.
Do I need to submit those all previous work history proof ?
Should I raise web form for this or wait until they ask to do so ?
and also same for my spouse ?
My spouse has baseness before and it is not registered then should I submit all explanation with affidavit.

No need to show any proof for previous work experience. You are supposed to mention everything under Schedule A form under work activity. You don’t need to show any proof. For using webform with AOR , you can simply use with UCI number.

Hello @Miss bee,
I have applied in non express file after receiving the nomination letter in OINP for masters graduate stream.

19 June 2024 : Link account to GC Key
19 June 2024 : Additional Information Required (Appendix A)
19 June 2024 : This confirms that your application for permanent residence in Canada has been received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on 2024/03/05.
5 July 2024 : Acknowledgement of the webform (Appendix A submitted)
25 July 2024 : Additional document required (Employment Letter, Educational transcript)
26 July 2024 : Biometrics Completed
26 July 2024 : Medical Updated
30 July 2024 : Submitted the additional document

After this stage there are no updates. They are still reviewing the additional documents.
I contacted my local MP Office regarding my file and they replied that my application is considered as none-routine as it has been transferred to Winnipeg office for additional review and verification.
According to you how much time will they take to review the document?

According to you how much time will they take to review the document?
When an application is transferred to a specific office, like Winnipeg, for additional review and verification, it often indicates that IRCC is conducting further checks, which could be due to factors like verifying employment history, education, or background details. This transfer to a non-routine processing queue can lengthen the processing time.
Typically, once an application is flagged as non-routine and requires additional review, processing may be delayed by several weeks or even months. Exact timelines can vary significantly depending on the office’s workload, the complexity of the additional verification needed, and the availability of requested information from third parties.
While it is difficult to predict a precise timeline, you may experience a delay of several months. Staying in contact with your local MP office, as you’ve done, can be helpful for updates. Additionally, you can consider sending a webform inquiry every few months if there are no updates.
Thank you so much for the reply.
I have one question which if getting me tensed is that they will not regect the application right? if they have some question then they will ask for additional document?
IRCC generally tries to work with applicants to resolve any missing or unclear details. If there’s any information they need, it’s common for them to request additional documents or explanations before making a decision. Receiving additional document requests (ADR) or clarification requests is usually a sign that they want to verify something rather than deny the application outright.
If you respond promptly and provide the needed information or clarification, it greatly improves the chances of a positive outcome. It’s understandable to feel tense, but it sounds like you’re staying on top of things, which is key.
Which stream did you apply in? And did you get your AOR already?
Just trying to know how smooth was it with the passport renewal assuming you did it after submitting the application in the PR portal
