My current PGWP work permit is expiring Dec 8, 2023. I am currently in India and plan to get back to Canada on Nov 25, 2023.
I want to apply for a PGWP Extension but:
1) Not sure if I can do it from India - for an "Inside Canada Online Application "since I am in India currently?
2) Is it a good idea to do it from Canada when I return back on November 25, 2023 which leaves me a about 13 days before my current work permit expires. (Asking this because they mention that you should apply for a work permit extension 30 days before current work permit expires- but I checked "Find out If you are eligible tool" and it suggests I am)
3) Should I go to a Niagra/ Windsor Border to get it done? - My worry is if due to some reason if it gets rejected at Border will I be deported? or do i still have an option to apply online before my work permit expires??

Thanks for your response. Yes, my TRV expires on Dec 8, 2023
So this means I can work on implied status as a worker and not as a visitor, while I wait for my PGWP extension?

I am facing a similar situation. My PGWP expires on Nov 13, 2024 due to passport expiry. I came back to India last year and I do not have a TRV yet.
I have since renewed my passport. Is PGWP extension due to passport expiry only allowed from within Canada? I reached out to few people and even though on IRCC portal it says PGWP extension may only be applied on paper, people have had success applying online. If it's online, is there any way I could do it from outside Canada?
Should I extend my PGWP first and then apply for TRV, OR
Should I get my TRV for the remaining duration of my work permit, get into Canada before my work permit/VISA expires and then apply for extension while in Canada?
Would greatly appreciate your guidance on the matter. Thank you for helping us navigate the insane complexity of immigration procedures.
