Hey buddy,
To extend your work permit, there are many ways.
i) you can get supporting letter from you pnp officer to extend your work permit. Apply for for work permit extension with supporting letter. Write cover letter in such a way, you got your PNP and it helps you to prove that, you have more chances of getting PR.
ii) Flag polling - Go to your closest US border. Tell them that you are there for flag polling. Tell them that, you got your PNP nomination and applied for PR. PR process might take longer than your work permit validity. Immigration officer will look at you PNP nomination/approval letter, your employer full time offer letter, your last four months pay slips and employer reference letter (optional). If immigration officer thinks, your work permit he/she can extend on that day; they will ask you to go into US for 1 mile and come back. You can take a short walk. On your way back to Canada, same officer will give you 18 moths extension of your work permit. for example: if you have 2 months validity work permit, he/she will give 2 months+18 months. If you have AOR and if you go for flag polling with AOR and all the documentation, you might get two years work permit extension.
With flag polling, different people has different experience. Some people got extension, some are not. It all depends upon immigration officer and his/her mood. We have to prove that our profile is legitimate and we will get PR for sure. If officer doesn't feel confident, he will ask you to go for option (i). Look for flag polling more.
Thanks.
