Hi, thank you to whoever replies.

I don't know if you will know how to answer my question, but, for example, I have a PGWP of 1 year. After 3 months I got a valid noc job to immigrate. When I finish the PGWP I will have worked less than 1 year, because I only got the job after 3 months of PGWP. Is it possible to extend the PGWP in order to complete the 1 year of work in the noc necessary to earn points to immigrate?

Thanks in advance!

No you can’t extend a PGWP. It is a once only permit. To get an extension your employer would have to file for an approved LMIA (show that no Canadian could be hired, show why hiring you will allow them to hire more Canadians, create a market assessment and pay over $1000). Then with an approved LMIA, you apply for a closed permit. This is a long and expensive process for an employer.

If you don’t get your one year Canadian experience then you don’t.
