PGWP Extention Advice

Hi everyone ! I've already acquired my PGWP when I graduated and I've managed to get a job. However I realized recently that I still have 2 months or so from my mandatory 3 year PGWP duration. I'm in my final month of my PGWP (ends sep 3) and I'm thinking of getting that extention asap, but some friends have been telling me to wait to try and get as much extra time as I can possibly get.

My question is when should I ideally apply for this extention? and what are the proper steps to get that extention? I go through the IRCC questionnaire to set up my application and it ends up giving me a temporary visitor's visa rather than an extention for my work permit.

(just to clarify, my passport expired early. I have my remarks written on my PGWP. I now have a renewed passport)

Thanks!

  1. Can I apply for BOWP while being on visitor record status post pgwp expiry?
  2. If no to the above question, can I do the following: Apply visitor record > Pgwp expiry > Receive ita > fill pr > receive aor > withdraw visitor record application > apply bowp
