Will i be refused to get PR if i worked after study before Application

[dododo]

Hello everybody
I've finished my study in December, started work and signed contract from the 3rd of January
However i applied for Post Grad Work Permit only on 23rd of January

Was i eligible to work from 3rd to 23rd of January?
P.S. I've had co-op work permit till March and was working on the same position with the same employer as on Co-Op term, the only difference is while doing co-op in my title was word "student" and after that, they removed it

If it's a violation, will i be eligible to get PR? Is anybody knows, or has some information or similar experience?

You were not legally allowed to work after you finished study, even if you had valid study permit or co-op permit.

After study, you can start working after you have applied for PGWP as it's legally allowed to work while waiting for decision on PGWP.

I would suggest not to mention work done during 3-21 January and only mention work after that for your PR application.

Hope it helps!

Hi, were you issued a PGWP?
