Oh yes I know this :) This was just something I was doing short term to make money. But I was just wondering how safe this is in terms of following the conditions of your permit. Whether it leads to foreign workers getting into trouble because they say that you worked illegally or did not submit...

I had applied for a PGWP. For a short time I worked for a company that stated that they did not deduct taxes on my behalf. So I had to do all the tax deductions on my own. Do you think this is a safe thing to do for a foreign worker? Would it cause any potential troubles? I'm a bit of a rookie...

Yeah but isn't there a 6 month period between when you can apply for a PGWP and graduate? The IRCC webesite said you had 180 days to apply. That's a long time. So even if a student's study permit expires, couldn't they go to their home country and use those 6 months to search for a job through...

I graduated some time around May of this year. I applied for a PGWP but I still haven't heard back. My program was 2 years long. I just wanted to ask, when do they decide what the start date of your PGWP is? As in, if your PGWP is 2 years long......when does it actually start? When they process...

I applied for a PGWP more than a month ago. I still haven't heard back. The thing is I might have to change my address soon or even go back to my home country. I'm not sure. So what's the best thing to do in this situation? How do I handle the mailing address change? Obviously I cannot have...

Wow that is actually unexpected! So you went part time in the semester? But what about the semester in which you had initially failed the course? Did your total credits earned go below the amount that is needed to qualify as full-time?

I'm wondering which justification is the best to use (the semester taking place in the pandemic or staying enrolled). Because while I know that you can apply for a PGWP multiple times in case of rejection, you cannot go back on your original justification and change it right? So once you choose...

The scheduled breaks are specific to each college. Your college's website might have information on them. In order to apply for a scheduled break, you need to fill out some form issued by the college and send it to them. The form will be located somewhere within their website. Also before doing...

Does your college have any rules regarding scheduled breaks? At some colleges, you have to apply for a scheduled break and then they can authorize your leave. IRCC says that an authorized leave can be taken if its below 150 days (might want to always keep check of the latest information though).

On my school's website it states that courses with a 'F' grade count towards full-time status. I'm wondering if I can just provide a link to the school website in my PGWP application? Would they accept that? I also have enrollment verification letters for each semester. Which are computer...

Not that worried about the grades. I've already graduated. I'm worried about how IRCC will see that semester. Whether they will consider me full-time or part-time. In some schools, the transcript will show credits attempted AND credits earned. But my transcript only shows credits earned in a...

I did a 2 year program. In one of the semesters in the middle of the program, I had failed a course which led to the total credits for that semester going below amount that classifies as "full-time". I repeated that course in a subsequent semester. I checked with an immigration consultant as...

My SP is valid but not my TRV :( Unless....... is it possible to travel to USA and back to Canada without a valid TRV? I have a valid US Visa and I think I read somewhere about them making exceptions for USA-Canada travel

I thought PGWP applications take time? Can you just walk up to a border and ask for it directly? And will they make the decision on the spot?

I extended my study permit and its valid for another 7 months. However I also wanted to apply for a TRV since my current TRV is expired. But when I went to the application page, I noticed that they asked for proof of enrollment for future semesters. But the thing is I just completed my program...

Cool. But what if you've finished your program and want to apply for a work permit? Should you still use the study permit to apply for the TRV or should you apply for the work permit and then apply for the TRV? Because I noticed the TRV application asks this specifically. If you're planning on...

I know its 2 separate processes, I was merely asking whether it needs to be extended before the expiry date or if its fine to apply for the renewal AFTER the expiry date. Because I know that's the rule for the study permit. You have to extend the study permit BEFORE the current study permit's...

I applied to extend my study permit and they extended it. However I did not extend my TRV (Because I thought it was only meant for travelling). My TRV has expired but my study permit is valid. I just wanted to confirm but is this ok? Should I have applied to extend the TRV before it expired...

I already applied for the extension and they extended it. My permit expires some time in November. I asked the college to reinstate me because I wanted to register for one of my courses in the next semester in case I don't pass it this semester. Normally I would have waited until the end of the...

That's what I thought too, but it turns out that the college will schedule you to " Term out " when you're nearing the end of your program. Or if you apply to graduate. I think its because the college has to keep updating their database to indicate how many active students they have at each...
