You should seek legal advice to ensure this was a CIC error. If it is, there are three approaches:
1) attend in-person at the local CIC office in your city with a copy of the PGWP application and the original one year permit.
2) contact the CIC Call Centre (they will likely say you cannot do #1 above, but do not assume that will be true). The CIC Call Centre may not be able to help you, and beware that although their agents do their best, they are neither officers nor lawyers, and are there to provide general information, not give you legal advice. If the call centre agent gives you incorrect advice that you rely on, it will be your problem alone.
3) apply to the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville to have the application corrected. Put in the processings fees (if it is their error, they should not use the fees, but at least give them the choice to protect your interests).
