Can the International student who is still in home country, study online and work full-time? is there any implications to PGWP or the student visa?

I don't think it will actually affect PGWP Eligibility because they will not know you are actually working full time in your home country. Eligibility is only for 50% online outside Canada and the remaining 50% within Canada. Unless they changed the rules.

Work in Canada is what they're talking about.
They don't care of your work in your home country, as long as it's not for a Canadian company.

You can work full-time outside Canada as the rule is only applicable when in-person in Canada.
 
Hi @Simmidas , for express entry, both full-time remote job and full-time remote study will be considered, as both overlaps ? Any thoughts ?

Hi @Simmidas ,@Atchu , Any inputs will highly be appreciated, I am currently working full time and now leaving this job to start my course in Canada, but due to recent travel ban, i am stuck in India for another 1 month atleast....Can i continue my job here another month?

I wanted to know will this impact my PGWP and further EE profile in any case, as my course start date and job last date from India will overlap..

For PGWP, 100% online classes from home country is eligible. Further, IRCC doesn't include conditions about working in home country while attending the classes online.
