http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/questions-answers-by-topic.asp?st=15.3 Here it explicitly says: "I’m an international student. Can I work before my study program starts? No. If you’re eligible to work on or off campus while studying in Canada, you can only start working once your study...

It might, I'm not sure. Check your university transcripts and see if they have any dates on them - mine don't have dates, just the terms I was registered. You could look up the official dates the terms start on your university website. Often signing up for classes is what counts as registration...

I would be careful about uploading the offer letter because there are very particular details that need to be on the letter and usually the offer letter is missing those things. Double-check those - I don't have a firm answer on this part. Valid job offer means that you have LMIA (Labour Market...

I disagree with the other poster - once you are registered as a student I believe you are entitled to work part-time (20hrs/week) or full-time out of session. I would just say you were a student during this time in your personal history. You can also have overlapping activities in your personal...

Were you registered as a student when you were working? Was your only permit a study permit?

You can't get your BOWP at the border.

I'm not sure what you mean by simultaneously, because they would be two different applications. But yes, you can make the two applications at the same time. You are only eligible for a PGWP extension if you did not get all of the time you should have gotten because of something like passport expiry.

I don't know if this is helpful but for those of us who are manically checking for updates on the processing times: I realized that the form we send away to apply for BOWP is the same as for the post grad work permit, and they are both in the same category when you check the processing times...

We went to the Pembina-Emerson border crossing in Manitoba. The documents we need for extension are all the same documents that were needed for the original application; passport, transcripts, completion letter, plus new passport, current PGWP, and we brought the degree certificate too. They...

I once travelled outside Canada before my study permit extension arrived (but it had been approved). I showed the border agent the letter that said it was approved and was allowed in. There was some difficulty because I arrived into Toronto airport and they have machines for the customs...

Hi everyone, I thought I would share my experience of attempting to flagpole in order to extend my fiancé's post grad work permit - he did not get his full three years because his passport expired before the end of the three, so he only got just over two years and wanted to extend. Flagpoling...

No, still no email. I've just been logging in to my CIC account every few hours to check, and I saw that it was approved.

Hi all, my extension just got approved. I applied March 2nd. If it helps anyone, the status updated from "We have not begun reviewing your eligibility" to "We are reviewing your eligibility" on 10th April, and it is 19th April now. Best of luck to everyone!

Hey all, I applied March 2nd and they have just started reviewing my eligibility today.

I'm also waiting. I applied March 2nd and I haven't heard anything. I read somewhere on this forum of someone who had applied around February 17th 2018 and received it March 22nd 2018, but I can't find it right now. The website hasn't updated properly in weeks with new processing times.
