My PGWP is expiring this month due to my passport expiry. I have applied for an extension but have yet to receive approval. I’m travelling outside of Canada next month, will I still be able to work when I return to Canada?

I have called 3 IRCC agents and they confirmed that I am able to work while on maintained status when I return to Canada as this is an exception for PGWP extension applicants.

Wondering if this is true or if there is anyone who had been in the same situation?

Yes you can still work but if you leave Canada, you won’t be able to come back in until you have a valid permit and your maintained status won’t help you to get back in. Your employer might not be understanding of this and in the process lose your job. I’d advise you don’t travel until you receive an approval for whatever permit you applied for.
