Hello! I applied for PGWP on Sep 8th inside Canada, Online. When I applied it said I can work until Jan 6th or until a decision is made, whichever comes first.
Did anyone else get a letter authorizing the work while processing the PGWP that had a limit date on it? Not sure if I will have to stop working or probably fill a Webform. Every regulation/legislation I could find did not mention a limit date. Any ideas?

Hi,

May I ask if you have received your work permit and the province you applied in? I also applied on Sep 8 in Toronto, Ontario and still waiting. I was also given the Jan 6 date in the letter. I'm not sure if I have to stop working on Jan 6 if I don't receive the work permit.

Applied Sep 8th and waiting. My class mate who applied on the same day got it on dec 31 11AM

I know SO many people between Sep 9-10 who got it around Dec 15. I have no goddamn clue what is happening

Here is the link to provide to your employer.
It states that we can continue working even after the expiry date of the WP-EXT for PGWP.
The text is almost the same you shared here, but it aims the PGWP itself. The information is at the end of the page.

Thanks, John! So it mentions "In cases where the 120 days have passed and no decision has been rendered, the applicant may request continued proof of authorization to work using the IRCC web form. "

I think it means we have to wait to hear back from IRCC for receiving another 120 days of working until a decision is made. So still not sure what should we do in the duration of submitting a webform and receiving a response.

The question is just to be sure, are we okay to continue working beyond 120 days without requesting for a new letter?

I think what it means is that we as applicant should request another letter. I dont think they’ll send another letter automatically.

As far as what I have learned I think we don't have to worry about the expiry date of the letter and keep working until we hear from them. As this link clearly says that we are allowed to work even after the expiry of the letter.

Yes, you can ask for such a letter once 120 days pass, but you can nevertheless continue working even if processing time passes the date mentioned on your WP EXT letter.
