same as title.

My passport was set to expire in Oct 2025 however I ended up renewing it so now it expires in 10 years. My PGWP was only issued from July 2023 to Oct 2025 so this including my TRV is expiring in Oct 2025.

1) I'm thinking of applying to the PGWP Extension ASAP but need to know if I need to provide IELTS results. Based on this pgwp-workshop (cnc.bc.ca), it isn't clear to me here and it seems though I need to provide language proficiency.

2) And while my PGWP Extension application is processing, I'm also planning on creating my Express Entry profile in January.

3) Should I wait till i get my new work permit or PR Invitation to apply for TRV or does it not matter? I'm concerned if I apply now then the expiry of the TRV will be based on my PGWP (one set to expire in Oct 2025)
