passport expiry before pgwp length

ill explain my situation here:

  1. Im still in the process of applying pgwp and gathering documents regarding course completion,transcripts and attestation letter from university.

2.I have received everything except attestation letter for maintaining full time / part time status letter.
3 . I have completed masters degree at university ( 2 years program ), eligible for 3 years pgwp.
4. My passport expires by july 2028 and that leaves me with reduced pgwp.
5. what is the processing time like for pgwp extension and should i apply for extension right away after i receive the original initial work permit.
6. Also for passport renewal when should i do it?
7. i received my grades on may 8th and i had applied for vacation from may 9th to may 20th, i had perfectly predicted when i would receive the grades lol.
8. i highly regret for not renewing my passport last year but yeah what can i possibly do here?
9. and ircc specifies to be done in paper.
10. the current pgwp processing time is 277 days so by the time i receive the actual work permit that means im actually cooked since might take an year so?

Here are my doubts and need some advice/opinion

  1. i have a doubt since ircc website clearly states that if your passport expires before your pgwp, then your pgwp is issued only till passport expiry.
  2. It states in ircc website to specify this issue before applying for initial pgwp but where can i specify it.
  3. where can i add this note? and has anyone gone thru this,help me out here.
  4. is there a problem since i put vacation instead of taking a break….like i saw that vacation is an employee benefit but i want to be on the safer side.
  5. Thank you in advance!!!! much appreciated
