    URGENT HELP. US CITIZEN APPLIED FOR PGWP

    In the event that someone who is in a similar situation as me I thought I would update and share my experience. I decided to take my chances and apply at the Peace Arch border.

    URGENT HELP. US CITIZEN APPLIED FOR PGWP

    Yes, this was my same question. The ISS advisor asked her supervisor and apparently she suggested the same thing- that I stop working until I get approval. I think that by discontinuing work altogether that the officer will see then that I realized I wasn’t allowed to work during that period...

    Work done after completion of studies and before PGWP for CEC

    Hello. I read your post and if I'm understanding it correctly we seem to be in the same sort of situation, at least concerning the PGWP. Please correct me if I'm wrong but what I'm understanding is that you worked after your studies and prior to applying for PGWP? If this is correct, were you...

    URGENT HELP. US CITIZEN APPLIED FOR PGWP

    Thank you for your input, I appreciate it. I spoke with an international student advisor and she recommends that I don't apply at the border when returning from my trip and just wait on my current online application. So now its really up to me to decide what to do... No clue. Additionally she...

    Hello everyone. Just wanted to give a quick update in case anyone is perhaps in the same situation as me.

    Hello! I hope you see this message! I actually made the same mistake as you and wanted to know how everything ended up going with your application? I too included the UCI number, however, I never entered the study permit document number because it never came up at required information even after...
