Stuck in a predicament. I applied for my PGWP extension due to my passport expiry date and my current PGWP has expired as of today.

It was obviously dumb to me to book for my flight for vacation thinking I would have gotten approval. It’s been 4 months now and my application is still processing.

My understanding is that I won’t be able to continue working when I return to Canada as I am on maintained status. Not sure what should I do? Would it be a huge risk to take if I come back and work?

Hi OP I’ve been there, wouldn’t risk taking the flight personally, I know for PR there’s a loop hole of land border crossing - maybe that applies to PGWP as well?

The lounge access at airports were a nice benefit, never got to use it since my client travel was through Amtrak.
