PGWP extension - Special Measure

[aditya707]

Hi,

Anyone received the automatic PGWP extension letter from IRCC today ?
My address specified in the letter is Indian address(Passport address). Not sure from where/why they took this address since I've been living in Canada from 2018.
There is no address to update in GCKEY account and may have to respond to them saying the address is incorrect. Doing this would OPT OUT of the automatic extension of the work permit within September and further delay the process.

Anyone in the same boat ?

I am in the same boat and confused as hell. At some places it is written that you may need to apply separately if you wish to change your address. At other places it is written that they will send us an instruction to change the address next month.

In any case, they have not mentioned in a clear manner that if you need to change the address then reply with "OPT OUT". I mean, OPT OUT may also mean that I no longer want a permit (Which is definitely not the case).

Here are some links related to this where I've done some reading but couldn't reach a conclusion. See if you could make sense of it. Let me know if you get any other information, I shall do the same.
