Hello, I was looking at PGWP program and got confused. - What if someone wasn't a full-time student for his first year but studied full-time for 3 more years and graduated, would this person qualify for PGWP or not? - The first question was hypothetical but this one is directly related to...

Hi guys, I've been trying to find an answer for a long time, but nobody seems to be able to help. My Spring 2020 was a work term, but it got canceled by the college due to the pandemic and we were given a single Pass/Fail course to study. Will that impact my PGWP? No other semesters before and...

Hi, Obviously your application will be returned with rejection before 2 months. So no need to apply. I can give you two ways - 1. Try to search employer who will grant you LMO before the expiry of PGWP. Talk to some immigration consultant. They charge around $10,000 but will help you in...

Work permit is different from work visa. You just need to wait until the government mail it to you, which takes 1-2 weeks. Once you get your PGWP, then apply work visa.

Yes, you can do that, the work experience will count from the date you applied for the PGWP.

as long as you have applied for pgwp before your study permit expires then you have implied status and can work legally until a decision has been made

For anyone out there still wondering, I can confirm that work experience gained after applying for PGWP but before getting PGWP approved DOES count towards CEC work experience (with the usual caveats of not working more than 20 hrs as a student etc.). I used 2.5 months of that and got a PR!

My PGWP get approved before OWP extention and TR2PR :/ Can I ask to switch this agent to work on my file? :rolleyes:

I have seen students deported due to working before applying PGWP and after getting final transcripts. During this period they can't work

If you worked before the PGWP start date and didn't have proper authorization to work, yes, it's going to be a problem.

Thank you Sctylla, is that ok if I apply LMO before my PGWP expires while waiting for response for new Work Permit?
