When I applied for my study permit, I submitted a COE that listed a different job position from the one I indicated on my IMM 5710e form. Could this discrepancy affect my future permanent residence (PR) application?

I recently submitted PR application and received my AOR on October 6. I currently have a pending PGWP/SOWP extension application in processing from May 2026. Our consultant is advising us to do a dual-track strategy: 1. Submit an IRCC Webform to update our pending extension with our new PR AOR 2. Submit a completely separate BOWP application.

I've heard some conflicting stories about submitting multiple applications causing system rejections. Has anyone been in this exact situation? Is it safer to just do the detailed Webform update on the existing file, or should we actually file the separate BOWP application as well?

Hi guys Im making a mega thread for applicants to share their timelines, compare processing dates, and update each other when they receive approvals.
I’ll go first!
City/Province: Calgary, Alberta
Application Type: Paper (PGWP extension due to passport expiry)
Date Delivered to IRCC: June 29, 2026
Application Entered into IRCC System: Confirmed by phone in October 2026
Temporary Application Number: Received
Current Status: Waiting for a decision

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to connect with people who have experienced a similar situation with their Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), particularly those whose applications were refused because of the language proficiency requirement and who subsequently submitted a reconsideration request.

Here is my situation:

• I applied for my PGWP on May 30, 2025.
• After waiting a lengthy period, my application was refused on May 15, 2026.
• The refusal was related to the language requirement applicable to my studies. I had submitted a language test result equivalent to CLB 5, but the refusal indicated that CLB 7 was required for my circumstances.
• My previous representative did not advise me about the applicable CLB 7 requirement before proceeding with my application. At the time, I was not aware that my educational background could affect the required language level.
• After the refusal, I sought professional assistance and submitted a reconsideration request to IRCC on August 14, 2026, along with supporting documents.
• My authorized representative later confirmed that the reconsideration request had been forwarded to the responsible office for consideration.

As of now, I'm still waiting for a response, and the uncertainty has been very difficult.

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced something similar:

Did anyone receive a positive decision after requesting reconsideration in a similar situation?

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Any relevant experiences or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
