Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

I am currently working on a Post Graduate Work Permit which was issued to me on May 2013. I have completed a four year Bachelor program so technically my work permit should have been issued for 3 years but since my passport was expiring in 2 years, my work permit was also issued until 2015 (a comment was added to my permit which says issued till Passport Expiry). Now that I have renewed my passport, can I just go ahead now and apply to renew my Post Graduate Work Permit given that I still have more than a year before my permit expires? Or should I just wait until I have just a few months left on my current permit?

Once again thank you and I really appreciate all your advice.
