PGWP Amendment Rejected - What is my next move?

[Maplemadness82]

Hello forum members!

Long story short: I applied for the amendment of my PGWP because of an error regarding the expiry date. I sent all the evidence to Ottawa for this error along with a letter explaining my case. I talked to CIC Call Center before and they recommended I should send this application since there obviously was an error. Yesterday I received my PGWP along with a rejection letter stating "We are not satisfied that an error has been made. You can apply for extension with applicable fees". I called CIC Call Center again, explained my situation and they told me "A decision has been made. There is nothing you can do".

It is quite shocking that they would ignore the obvious error they made in the first place! My case was obvious and strong with all the evidence. Does anyone have a suggestion about what my next move should be? Paying again for a work permit because a CIC officer working on my case made an error is not an option...

I'd appreciate some input. Maybe some of you has been in a similar situation before... How to deal with this?

Thanks...

Can you tell me how long it took for your Amendment to go through ?? How many weeks exactly ??

Read through the rest of the thread. He didn't apply for it correctly - so it didn't go through.

Hello members!

I received a two years PGWP instead of three years as my passport would expire within two years. Now, if i renew my passport, what do i have to do to get three years PGWP? I mean do i have to re-apply for PGWP online along with Letter of Explanation or do i apply through paper application or make an appeal? What is the right and fastest way to go about it. I'd really appreciate your meaningful suggestion.

Thanks again!
