Dear all,

I would be grateful if someone could shed a bit of light on the situation below:

PGWP was issued for 11 months and 3 weeks.
Express entry requirements: 12 months, skilled, 1,560 hours and etc.

Question: taken into consideration that requirement of 1,560 hours will be met, but the permit lacks 1 week to the full year, is it a reason for concern? And if so, is it possible to get an extension on those grounds: finished 1 year of postgrad, but got PGWP for less than a year?

I am also trying to find something about: working legally if you applied for WP extension. Does anyone have a clue where I can find something? So far I checked this: Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (SOR/2002-227), and couldn't find something precise.

Would be grateful for any hints and sources.
