Congratulations! Very happy that you finally see some progress.Thank you, everyone. I've got exited after years of silence, but I'm still suspicious
I can extend my work permit for 1 more year but I really don't want to go into this. I think that if you are in the final stage of the PR process (which I don't know yet) they don't extent the WP.
I have heard that if you apply for the WP extension and you become PR before it expires, you get reimbursed. I would wait and apply a couple of days before it expires.
