When is the expiration date of your friend's passport? A PGWP cannot be beyond a passport's validity. If your friend's passport expires on or after 2022, then you have to ask cic why only a year was granted.Hi guys, is there anyone here with 16 months program who has applied and got result? Need confirmation for length of pgwp. One of my friends who applied on 18 Jan got PGWP for 1 year with 16 months program.
