Working full-time before applying PGWP (International Student)?

[Mayan1994]

Hello everyone!

I am an international student graduating in April 2020. I do have a valid "study permit" & "work permit" (co-op) until July 2020. However, I wanted to know if I'm legally allowed to work full time from May 2020, before receiving my official transcript and PGWP?

Does having a valid work permit(co-op) until July 2020, allows me to work full time right after studies?

Or

Can I only work part-time until I receive my graduation certificate/ official transcript?

Enlighten me, please!

The co-op work permit is a limited permit that is only valid for actual co-op terms done within your program.

You can work part-time after graduation until receiving your confirmation of program completion. Once you apply for your PGWP, you can work full-time.

Make sure you apply for PGWP before starting to work full time.
