After Graduations Before Post-grad Work Permit

[saina0830]

Graduated: Dec 2014
Started Working Full-time: Jan 2015
Applied for PGWP: Jan 2015
Received PGWP: March 2015
Off-campus Expired: March 2015
Received ITA: Jan 4,2017

I am sure that it is legal to work while waiting for PGWP but not sure how many hours. Does anyone know what is the legal number of hours I could work between Jan 2015 to March 2015?

" Note: Paragraph 186(w) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) allows students who have completed their program of study to work while they are waiting for a decision on their work permit application, as long as they were a full-time student enrolled at a designated learning institution (DLI) in a post-secondary academic, vocational or professional training program and they did not exceed the allowable hours of work.

You can work full time AFTER applying for the PGWP. That means there are no restrictions on hours.(unlike an off campus work permit)

As long as you applied for a PGWP before you started working you are fine.

You mentioned you applied in Jan 2015 and started work in Jan 2015. You did not mention the exact days
