Hi

I am an international student and just graduated from a college. I applied for a work permit and after 2 days, realized that i selected wrong option in the question - What type of Work Permit are you applying for?

I selected - Open Work Permit whereas I should have selected - Post Graduation Work Permit.

And therefore, I received from IRCC a letter stating that i can continue working for the same employer until January, 2022 (as to IRCC, it is being portrayed that I applied for an extension in work permit).

I tried calling IRCC today, but eventually got to hear the automated response.

Can anyone please tell me, how to rectify this and shall i raise a webform for the same? And it can be sorted out?

Is it the same form for both PGWP and OWP?
They might ask you to withdraw your current application and re-apply.
