Your study permit expires 90 days after program completion. So when did you complete program? You need to restore status (if you can) and reapply for PGWP. Pay for both. You cannot work until approved. So you applied for reconsideration…why?

You cannot restore status because your permit expired, and it must be done within 90 days of course completion. So right now, you are out of status and outside the 90 days. Then you cannot apply for PGWP within Canada. I would get the advice of an immigration lawyer.

If you don’t change your status to visitor and your study permit expires, you have up to 90 days after your study permit expires to apply for a PGWP and restore your status as a student.

To restore your status as a student, you must

  • apply online for your PGWP and pay the correct fee ($255), and
  • pay the fee to restore your status as a student ($389.75)
You can’t work until your study permit and work permit have been approved.
