I made some mistakes on the IMM5710e form, and uploaded the unofficial transcript instead of the official. I've raised cse's to address these mistakes with the correct and updated documents. Since my application has not even started being reviewed as yet, will the officer consider the new documents I submitted?

Hi, may ask guys who submitted PGWP on implied status, how did you get your IMM5170e to be validated if your previous study permit is already expired (question 7E - The end date of your immigration status in your current country of residence can't be filled with day in the past) and your new study permit has not arrived yet? Is it not the date indicated on the study permit?

Edit: Found a post said I can enter today date and explain the situation in a letter. Anyone has done this? Or is there other ways? [link to post: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/pgwp-apply-after-expired-study-permit.699853/)

My study permit is expiring on sept 30, can I still work after it expires? I have submitted PGWP on April 17th..waiting for a decision to be made on my application. Is anyone still working after their study permit expired, if yes - did you submit any application for extension?

You can able to work full time as per the implied status of PGWP but some people recommmanded to takes an extension with the explanation letter if in case you will get a refusal on the PGWP, as per rules you need a valid status to reapply or for reconsidration.as per before, the processing time was no over the 3 months and a CIC already give 3 months extra on study permit to cover the PGWP processing times.
but now due to the corona study permit processing times already high so it's not worth it. if your study permit already expires so you also brake a rule to be renew it before expire. i also in the same situation and hope to be approved. I had some parttime study.

We submitted to PGWP on implied status, but our SP arrived after 5 months. The problem is that when we received it, it was expiring already. We got on August and it will expire next week. I believe my consultant made a letter explaining this situation when they applied to PGWP.

for those who were once asked to submit biometrics, how long did it take IRCC to update your application to reflect that biometrics are not required?

Does anyone know from which date does the countdown for PGWP begins. Is it the day it was applied or the day it got sanctioned by IRCC?
The one who already received it may wanna revert! Thanks :)
