rcice ener nee este \sb3601 hope you are doing well. I am reaching out to seek clarification regarding the recent changes to the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) program, particularly regarding language requirements and their impact on PGWP extensions Previously, individuals whose PGWP was issued for a shorter duration due to passport expiry were eligible to apply for an extension, Could you please confirm whether this policy remains unchanged under the new PGWP rules? Additionally, do the new language requirements apply to those seeking an extension due to passport expiry? SCENARIO: An Individual applied for PGWP and received his permit was issued ftom 2023/10/26 till 2025/10/21 until his passport expiry. ‘The new PGWP changes came into effect from November 01st 2024 where Language proficiency requirement is mandatory. So will this be effective for those who received PGWP before the policy came into effect and applying for extension specifically due to passport expiry or will these individuals be considered under the old eligibility where language proficiency is not a requirement. Your assistance in clarifying this matter would be greatly appreciated. ‘Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response. Best regards,
