I was just about to start work when I received it. I hadn’t started yet, I quickly applied for PGWP and received the new letter the next day! You’re welcome!

I just didn’t consider that since PGWP gave me permission to work :)

Hi, I ended up applying for my PGWP as well at the same time. Once I applied for the PGWP, I received a letter allowing me to work full-time for any employer. I received approval for both work permits.

Yes, I have seen that as well but wanted to be sure. The IRCC website says that all applications are processed independently of each other so both applications would still be processed. The situation is that my PGWP would be one year but my special measures work permit would be 3 years. Hence...

Hi everyone, is it possible to apply for both my PGWP and a special measure open work permit at the same time and get both?

Any help would be appreciated

Hi, I am currently on a study permit and I just finished my course. Since my PGWP was only 1 year and I am an Iranian citizen I decided to apply for the open work permit under special measures for Iranian citizens as that is usually 3 years. I was confused about whether I’m allowed to work...

Hi there, Did you ever confirm this with IRCC? I’m in a similar situation right now

That’s what I fear as well. It could take a month for my application to get approved which is scary. However, I wonder, does this apply here? https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/work/work-off-campus.html#after The part under “if you’ve already...

Thanks for your response! Yes I meant to ask should I wait for May next year when we actually started living together although I don’t have a lease to show for it? Or should I wait till August next year where I have a lease to show for it

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to common-law sponsorship and I’m not very familiar with the process. My first question is, I moved in with my partner in May but the lease was in her name and I did not have my name on the lease. I did change my bank address and my phone bill to her address. Now...

I personally think it’s because of lack of career progression. He is a master’s in psychology but he regrets doing psychology and has been working as a software developer for a company in his home country Iran. So now he wants to study computer science in Douglas college to further his...

My friend got refused the first time for a study permit for the typical generic reasons. He appealed in court and got a settlement offer. When the case reopened, IRCC requested him to pay one year tuition fee and some other documents and he paid the one year and provided all documents. After...

Hi there, my girlfriend (a Canadian citizen) and I (international student) want to start living together to become common law partners and she is going to sponsor me in the future. As of right now, it’s not possible for us to hold a joint lease. What other documents can we use as proof? Without...
