Thank you

I sent a webform and they replied just after a month.Sent paper application on 23rd Feb and got application number on 22nd March. Or else you can go to Gckey account and try to link by providing answers to their questions. If its ready by then it will show the application is available.

thanks, GSSSIL,
unfortunately, at first, I applied online 2 months ago and then I figured out that I have to apply on paper then I sent my paper base application a month a go and sent them a web form to explain about it but have heard back from them yet.. and could not link my paper application yet...

Oh okay, just try every week linking it because they don't answer the phones now. They will not reply to the web form until your information is available.

thank u again, GSSSIL, but I’m just confused, do we still need to provide a photo? Cause in our initial PGWP, online application needed a digital photo, is it the same case here or not?

Hello everyone,

I can not reach to RICC, can anyone here answer me this? I am about to extend my PGWP after getting my Passport extension.

My case is: I should have 3 year PGWP in Canada (November 2023) but I just got it until November 2022 because of my passport limit date. I recently renew my passport and ready to extend my PGWP to the full length. However, there is now a new government program for expired PGWP in 2022 to more 18 months.

My question is:
1. Can I apply for new 18 months program or I just can extend my PGWP to its full length (November 2023).
2. In case I just can extend my PGWP to its full length, is it possible if I can apply online (I saw someone did that on YouTube and she said she was approved by IRCC)
3. In case I just can extend my PGWP to its full length and by mail, can I Flagpoling?

Not sure about the first two points but what I am sure of is that you can’t flagpole for extensions. I am in the same position and I tried doing it twice with different officers and they both said that they can’t do extensions. I ended up sending paper application as some people said that their application was refused because PGWP extension must be on paper.

Wow, thank you a lot!!!

Hi! Did you all also only have this note on the initial PGWP: "Document issued to expiry of passport"? My PGWP does not have an additional note stating to apply for an extension once I renew my passport. Thanks!

Hey, I am going to do the safer option which is extend my PGWP to the full length as I have mostly 1 year experience in Canada.
