That's what I did! I submitted a letter of explanation with a screenshot of the approval of the new study permit from the portal, the letter of approval from IRCC, and a picture of the old study permit. We reviewed this with a lawyer and they thought it was a good plan. But I cannot confirm that...

My RCIC advised me to apply for my PGWP while I was on maintained status as a student. My study permit was set to expire before the end of my studies, so I applied to extend it before the expiration. My RCIC said I would be able to work, but it seems like they were wrong. You cannot work if you...

I was still studying (October 2024) when I applied for the extension of the study permit. I only needed to extend it to get me to the end of my semester. At the end of December 2024 I completed my program and applied for my PGWP in January 2025. I received my study permit extension approval...

This is really helpful, thank you! I am actively searching for a lawyer that can help in this situation. It took me 102 days to receive the approval of my study permit extension. I hope yours gets approved soon!

Do you know what defines a valid study permit? For example, if I applied to extend my study permit before it expired, then applied for my PGWP while my study permit extension was in progress, do I still have a valid study permit thereby allowing me to work?

I applied on the 18th as well. I have not withdrawn yet but am considering doing it tomorrow.

I am about to do the same. Do you have any advice on withdrawing and reapplying? I'd be curious to know if I need to wait a certain amount of time after withdrawing or if it can be done right away. I've seen mixed things online.

Today, my study permit extension was approved. I'm wondering if anyone has advice. I am leaning towards withdrawing my first PGWP application and resubmitting with the new study permit. Does anyone know if this will allow me to work, or if there are any risks to doing so?

Thank you. That is my understanding as well. I keep trying to explain this to my immigration consultant but she continues to be dismissive and tells me that I am allowed to work... Any advice on how to proceed?

Hi there! I have a question about my ability to work now that I have applied for my PGWP. I have been working with an immigration consultant but I do not think they are giving me accurate advice. I recently graduated in December 2024 and received my letter of completion on January 19th, 2025...
