    Applying for PGWP and study permit at same time?

    I have seen many senior members of this group claiming that study permit and PGWP are "not compatible". I don't know how they reached that decision and it sure ain't based on facts or by talking to an actual IRCC agent.

    Work experience for CEC while on PGWP but also enrolled in phd for 1 semester

    I am in quite a pickle and hoping that some one who has first hand experience of this situation can help. I got my PGWP in Feb and started full time job in April. But I also enrolled in Phd in summer/spring semester on a valid study permit. I dropped out from Phd in August so I have 4 months...
