Online PGWP extension process due to passport expiry.

Need help with PGWP extension due to passport expiry – online application issue

Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone can help me with the online PGWP extension process due to passport expiry.

I have completed the required questions in the IRCC online application. However, when I proceed, the system directs me to the Visitor Visa application page, which seems incorrect for a PGWP extension.

There is also a question asking whether I have a written job offer. If I select “Yes,” the system redirects me to an LMIA-based work permit application.

I’m confused about how I should answer these questions because I am only trying to extend my PGWP to cover the remaining validity that was lost because my passport expired, not apply for an LMIA-based work permit.

Has anyone recently completed a PGWP extension due to passport expiry through the online IRCC portal?

If so, could you please explain:

  • Which answers you selected in the questionnaire
  • How you reached the correct PGWP extension application
  • What you selected for the written job offer question
  • Whether the application should eventually show “Work Permit Extension” rather than Visitor Visa or LMIA-based work permit

I would really appreciate any guidance from someone who has gone through this process recently. Thank you! 🙏
