Please Help for Extending the PGWP (Post Graduate Work Permit)

[saintea]

Hi there,

I obtained my Post Graduate Work Permit last August (2010) by

graduating university in Vancouver, BC.

The permit itself is valid for 3 year,

however mine is only valid until Dec 31, 2011 due to my passport expiration date.

On the permit, it states "Post Graduate Work Permit ends 30 Jun 2013. Passport Expires 31 Dec 2011 and Must Be Renewed For Any Further Extensions to Be Considered."

I recently renewed my Passport, so I know that I'm eligible to extend the permit.


However I'm not sure how and where to renew it (PGWP).


I couldn't find any information regarding this on CIC website,

so if anyone can offer me some information - that'd be so awesome !


Thank you and have a great day !

1. Pretty simple, you apply to Vegreville for an extension. See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/work-students.asp

Hi PMM, thank you so much for your advice.

If I were to go this route, am I re-applying for Post-Graduate Work Permit?

If then, do I need to re-submit my transcript & a copy of degree parchment and a cover letter that's saying "I'm re-applying PGWP because my passport is renewed." ?

The thing is I was nominated for BC PNP just a week ago - should I include their "Work Permit Support Letter" as well?

Please advice.
