Hi Guys,
As per recent CIC news, the four-year cumulative duration rule will be no longer applicable to temporary foreign workers.I am going to complete 5 years by 18 of Feb, 2017 in Canada, my ICT WP will be expired on 16 of April 2017.
I have got a request from my manager to apply for my WP extension for 1 or 2 more years but my company HR was telling four-in, four-out rule which is removed is only for LMIA WPs and this rule is still there for ICT WP.Therefore, my WP can't extend anymore.
Do you guys have any thoughts on my situation?

In order to prevent unnecessary hardship and instability for both workers and employers, the four-year cumulative duration rule will no longer apply to temporary foreign workers in Canada, effective immediately. The cumulative duration rule, known as the “four-in, four-out” rule, was put in place in April 2011, limiting work for some temporary foreign workers in Canada to four years who then became ineligible to work in Canada for the next four years.
