Study permit about to expire, PGWP still in process

[Alanna]

It very clearly says "HAD a valid study permit", meaning that your study permit had to be valid when you applied for the PGWP.

Seriously, it is very clearly written that you can continue working. I don't know why you are trying to cause yourself problems.

Sorry to retrieve this thread,

I applied for my PGWP on Sept 8th and my study permit will expire on Nov 1st. I understand that by right I am on implied status now, however I read from this link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/questions-answers-by-topic.asp?st=15.5 that:

If the new application was submitted for a different type of temporary resident status (e.g., work permit):

• On the expiry of your study permit you must stop any of the activities stated in the original study permit once the permit expires. For example, you may have come to Canada as a student and then applied for a work permit. If so, you must stop studying once your study permit expires. After that, you cannot work or study until you get a new permit.

So can I work after the expiry of my study permit till I get a decision on my work permit application? My new employer thinks I can only work when I get my work permit.

Your employer is wrong. Ring the call-center and get them to email you confirmation that you can work. Then give it to your employer. That's what i done

Hi guys,
From reading all the messages in this forum, I am clear now that I can work full-time after the expiration of my study permit while waiting for my PGWP. However, I was told today in the CRA office that my SIN number will be inactivated automatically when my study permit expires. Under this scenario, having the SIN number inactive, will my employer be able to do my payroll? or do I need to do something to active the SIN during my implied status?

I appreciate your help!!
Joha

Hi..
@canuck_in_uk
According to this information from CIC helpcentre; http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=492&top=15
one cannot continue working once their study permit has expired, even though they have applied for PGWP when the study permit was valid. It seems as if the "implied status" is applicable only from the time you apply for PGWP (on a valid study permit) until your study permit has expired.

This is mind boggling! I hope you can share your experience and advice.

It is not mind-boggling. That is referring to other permits, i.e. a closed work permit or a OWP based on a spouse's status.

She can apply. It's still early, so she doesn't need to apply right away.

I will try to create GC account and make sure everything uploaded. Then planning to submit her application around 28 nov?
