Worked for more than 20 hours/week after applying for PGWP

[ahm756]

Hey guys,

I graduated last year and applied for PGWP on May 6, 2020. I began working full-time (for 35 hours per week) on June 1, 2020 while on implied status and received my PGWP on June 7, 2020. While I was on implied status, I had a valid study permit and I was authorized to work off-campus.

So my question is whether I was working legally for 35 hours/week when I was on implied status or was I supposed to work 20 hours/week until receiving my PGWP?

You're fine. You weren't working illegally. You can work full time once you apply for the PGWP.

Could anyone please confirm after graduation until what time student can work officially....? I got my unofficial transcript on student portal. Do I need to stop working right away or I can work until I would get my official transcript and completion letter?

it doesn't matter it is official or not, so long as it shows degree conferred/ graduation such kind of word, you are no longer authorized to work. no sure about how they define the final mark
