Hello everyone!

Congratulations to everyone who got automatic extension for 18 month!

I have another situation, my PGWP expires on January 2023. But it happened only because my PGWP processing time was longer than any one in my course and exceeded all deadlines , out of 40 students I am only one who is not eligible for extension. It is unfair.
I have automatic letter from IRCC stating that I am authorized to work full time before 22 December 2021, so which means if I got it in time I would be eligible to apply for extension as well, because I have only 1 year PGWP.

Here is a question, will it work if I apply anyways for extension with explanation letter, explaining that I was supposed to have eligibility to extend my PGWP and attach as a proof automatic confirmation letter?

Thank you in advance, Please any ideas from experienced members ?

The new policy only applies to PGWPs expiring between September 20, 2021, to December 31, 2022. Since your PGWP expires in Januar 2023, you unfortunately don't fall under the policy. If you apply anyway, you should be expecting a refusal. You can certainly try and include the explanation.

I am also in the same boat as you, PGWP Expiring just a week after 31st December. What options are you considering?
 
I guess so many students have the same scenario, they should consider something for those pgwp expiring from Jan to Mar 2023. Mine expires on Jan, anyone has a positive reply from ircc please share and it may help others like us.
 
Mine is expiring in Jan 2023, and I have applied for the extension anyway attaching a letter of explanation along with my application. I have a profile in EE and hoping to get an ITA before Jan 5 but seems highly unlikely at this point.

Having a score of 470 and waiting for scores to get down is too hectic, will hope you get a positive response from ircc.
