I have a question, my pgwp is still valid for a week and I am still working with current employer. I have selected that I am applying under same employer instead of applying for first time or new employer!! Is it ok? What did you select? Should I change it? Is it possible to change it after submitting application?

If you have submitted your application, you cannot change it. Usually when you apply for the first time you select, applying for first time. However, if you are renewing, you will select same employer.
