my PGWP expires Jun 2016 due to passport expiry, otherwise I wud have had a PGWP expiring Mar 2017.

Got new (Indian) passport reissued locally.
PGWP says: Valid until passport expiry and I was told by CIC that I will be able to apply for extension.

If u don't hear anything by April, I would advise you go to the border to extend your PGWP, I had couple of friends that extended PGWP at the border!
