Its a bit contradicting though

Extend or change the conditions of your work permit
After you extend
If you applied online to extend or change your work permit
After you apply online, we’ll send you a letter in your account (WP-EXT except PGWP) that you can use as proof that you’re authorized to keep working, if you’re eligible.

• You can print this letter or show it with your current work permit.
• The letter is proof that you’re authorized to keep working under the same conditions as your original work permituntil we process your application.
  • You can keep working past the expiry date on the letter until we process your application if the conditions are the same as on your original work permit.

So it means you can apply online as well?

Yes. I had my initial PGWP issued for one year only due to passport validity. I applied for extension after renewing my passport and I got two years more.

Hey,

did you applied for extension online or paper based?
Within how much time your permit got approved?

 

[akshayrajyaguru]

I applied PGWP extension due to passport expiry via paper application on Aug 31st, 2023, no updates at all.

Somehow all paper applications are extremely delayed. Please post if someone has received an update.

Is your application approved yet?

I need to apply based on paper for PGWP extension
Do you know how to pay the fees

Same here I applied since August 25 2023. No updates.... I called ircc last week and the agent actually said that it's not suppose to be this long. They check my application status and their said my application is in "idle" ??? They contacted someone in Edmonton office but no answer yet so i will try to follow up this week. My friend who applied the same time as me already got hers 2 weeks ago. Her permit expired in Oct last year maybe that's why they pushing her application first but she's been calling ircc everyday since Jan 2024 so i guess i'll try to do the same.

do you know the number that you tried ?
