I am a US citizen and was previously being sponsored for permanent residency by my Canadian wife. Our relationship has broken down and she removed sponsorship. However I received a work permit before she removed sponsorship. My work permit is valid until April 9th, 2021, but my passport expires April 4th, 2020. I spoke with an immigration lawyer and she told me that I am extremely lucky and that the work permit should normally expire on the same date as my passport. She says I can renew my passport when it's time and the work permit is valid until the date printed. I know she is knowledgeable but I'm just curious if anyone here has seen this happen before?

Big mistake by IRCC. Happens occasionally. The permit remains valid.
 
Need urgent advice
Currently i got one year PGWP until june 2020 which is also my passport expiration date. Would i be able to renew it for the remaining 2 years ?!

A quick Google returned this, assume maybe is still valid but as a minimum check the fee is current given post is 4 years old. Sure there are other more recent posts easily found in the forum if you search.
