PGWP Extention due to passport expiry?

[Emmanel]

What does this have to do with this thread on PGWP extension due to passport expiry.

Hey, I am obviously panicking right now and did not know which exact forum to share this. My work permit that expired was a PGWP and it's expiry was linked to my passport's expiry

"Thanks for sharing your timeline!. If you don’t mind me asking, when was your initial work permit expiring, and from what date did your new work permit start?

Hello everyone,

I applied for pgwp extension paper based due to passport expiry. The document were delivered on 7th December.

I am not able to link the application online so I called IRCC today and they told me they have not received the application and told me to resend to new station 009.

When i called again irrc agent told me we cannot link paper based application at all.

Has anyone experienced this issue before?
How long does it take to link paper app

Hi, my application got approved today, so I’ll share my timeline in case it helps anyone.

Mode: Paper application
Application delivered: October 9, 2024
Biometrics validity letter: February 3, 2025
Approved: February 5, 2025

Total wait time: 119 days

I was never able to link my paper application to my account until February 3, 2025. I had called IRCC 4 times throughout October to February. On the first call (10/31), the agent said that they couldn’t find my application and told me to send it to station 009. On the second call (11/27), a different agent found my application and gave me a temporary application number but said that I wouldn’t be able to link my application to my account because it’s still temporary.

I got no updates from IRCC (except the ones I initiated through call) until the day before it got approved.

Can I extend my incomplete PGWP after it expires?

I only received 8 months out of the 36-month validity period of my PGWP because my passport was expiring. My PGWP is set to expire on March 10, 2025. I have applied for a new passport, but it is still being processed, and I am unsure if I will receive it before my PGWP expires.

Can I apply for a PGWP extension after the expiry date (March 10, 2025), once I receive my new passport?

What are my options to avoid falling out of status?
