This letter refers to your application for a Work Permit.
Based on your application and accompanying documentation that you have provided, I have carefully considered all information and I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations. Your application as requested is therefore refused.
[X] Foreign students in Canada are eligible for a work permit for post-graduation employment if they submit an application within 90 days of issuance of notification that they have successfully completed all of the requirements for their course of studies or program. As your application was not mailed within the prescribed period of time, it has been determined that you are not eligible for a work permit in this category.
[X] PLEASE NOTE: As per R222(1)(a), your status in Canada is valid until the expiry date listed on your document or 90 days after the day on which the permit holder completes their studies, whichever comes first.
I finished my last semester on December 17, 2017 and applied to graduate as soon as the marks were posted. In this case my graduation was approved on April 10, 2018. Two weeks later, I went online CIC apply for work permit.
But today I received an update regardless of the refusal of my WP.(Reason listed on the first three paragraph )
***1. I did not know my study permit will be invalid within 90 days and what if the university did not approve my graduation.
(I had no knowledge about restoring period beforehand until today talking to a CIC officer on the phone.)
2. I completed the requirements for the degree program on December 2017 does not mean I'm officially graduated ( as it approved on April 10 2018)
