Hello Everyone,

I have a 3 year work permit started from 2013 Nov and expired in July this year due to my passport expiry. I submitted the extension application but it was then rejected after my permit expired so I applied for a restoration of status. After 4.5 months wait I finally get the approval and the issued expiry date is 2016 Nov. Since I could not work during my waiting period, is there any way that I could challenge the decision made so I can gain a few more months from the expiry date?

Here's my timeline for my PGWP,
First Applied: Nov 2013
Extension application Received: Aug 4, 2015
Date Issued: Dec 20, 2015
Issued Expiry Date: Nov 2016

At the end, I want to mention that I am new to this forum but I have been following up on the timeline of the processing time.
I want to express my gratitude on all the information shared on this forum and they are really helpful.

Thank you

No - they won't extend the validity of your PGWP.
