Hi did you find out if you can travel outside Canada while you receive your Work Permit in hand? Have a valid TRV till 2023.

I got the email to opt-in, the option showed up in my IRCC account, but my passport expires in October 2024. I renewed my passport at a consulate in Toronto and I'm hoping I can get the new one before May 20th. If not, I'll have to submit the application after the opt-in period, pay the fees, and wait who knows how many months to get the new WP.

I applied my earlier SOWP and PGWP extension (In case of passport expiration) through an agent, Today he forwarded me email for PGWP opt in but I am not seeing any PGWP (18 months extension) link on my portal. Does anyone is facing same issue? Should I reach out to my agent to update details

Hi everyone
I have recieved an email for Opt in option but I missed the deadline. my original work permit expired on May 30,2023. I just want to know if I apply for PGWP extension would I get the interim work authorization email? Or that's the opt in email that I recieved on Mar 31st?

Hi everyone,

I have a tricky situation in my case. So I had 1 year and a half PGWP from 5 january 2021 till 3 june 2022 because my passeport expired before the 3 years I am supposed to have. Then I did an extension request to have the remaining 1 year and a half till 5 january 2024. They send me though the authorization to continue working and to ask for a New work permit. Do you think that I am going to be approved even though the last work permit expires after31december??
