Post Grad Work Permit renewal - New or Same employer?

[dastanmo]

Hi there,

I am currently working on a Post Grad Work Permit that was issued to me last year. Because I completed a four year program, I was eligible for a 3 year PGWP but the one issued to me was only for 2 years since my passport was expiring.

Now I am applying to extend my PGWP but I am confused with which option I should select that I am applying for:

1) A work permit with the same employer

OR

2) An initial work permit or a work permit with a new employer

Since PGWP is an open work permit, I am not sure which option to choose. I called the CIC Call center 3 times but each time I was told to select a different option and hence adding on to my confusion.

Did anyone have a similar experience or knows the right option to choose?

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and I appreciate any advice.

Well, it's definitely not option 2, so choose option 1? It's the same work permit, so it's technically the same "open" employer.
