Hi everyone, I would like to extend my post graduate work permit but I don't know where I should do this process. Since the link on the PGWP site is only valid for new registrant. I know I can get extension as this what it says on the lower page of my work permit

"post graduate work program case type 56 in new system replaces case type 20 in old system. Document issued to passport expirty date.passport must be renewed for further extensions. avl/osc"

After you renew your passport, you will have to apply for an extension to an office in Alberta (as far as I remember because I did it two years ago) then you will get a new work permit showing the remaining time and saying the reason it was issued as remaining PGWP allowed time no further extension allowed.

Check
IMM5556E Checklist

Job letter

Those were the two documents I filled and sent to Alberta I can't remember the address
