Hi all,
I have received my final grades but not my final grade report (the one with the term and cum averages, eligibility to graduate/continue in program). I thought I could apply for my PGWP after receiving my final grades but was told by the international office in my school that I had to wait until my final grade report is released. However, I do have a letter from my program saying that I have completed my program and will be eligible to graduate in June. I had requested this letter because I thought I could start my PGWP application.
The website says that I have up to 180 days to apply for a PGWP after I get my degree, diploma, transcript, or official letter from my school. Does this mean that my 180 days to apply for PGWP starts from the date of that letter? Or do I still have wait for my final grade report to apply? Even if I applied now, my transcript will not say that I have completed my program.
In the mean time, would my study permit still be valid since I have not received my final grade report? I understand that I am not able to work after I am told that I have completed my program and before I apply for PGWP. Am I able to work right now?
Thank you.
