Did the approval of your PGWP and the refusal ( or withdraw ) of SOPW come at the same time ?

Congratulations!

I want to believe that you submitted your PGWP application while on maintained status. Please how did you address the status end date in the IMM5710 form? The form wouldn't accept an expired permit date. I am still waiting for my SP extension since I applied July 14. Sharing your experience would help me as the advise I am getting is to submit PGWP application after receiving completion letter rather than waiting for SP extension approval before submitting PGWP application. Thank you.

if you can get your letter of completion and official transcript before 28-29th Dec, you can apply for PGWP a few days before your study permit expires, that way you can continue working after submitting your PGWP application. If not, you may have to wait for the approval of your extension and you may not be able work.

I suggest you check with your school on the possibility of getting your completion letter and official transcript on time (I'm just sharing the lessons I learnt from my own experience)
Thanks for your reply @kaka2. I think I have to wait for the approval of the extension as it won't be possible before 28-29th Dec. Kindly let me know why you think its a good idea to wait for approval of my extension. You also said, "I'm just sharing the lessons I learnt from my own experience". If its okay for you can you share your experience?

In my case, I chose "other" status and noted that I am on maitained status as student . From the day after my Sp expried and I left the "to date" blank
