Hi all,

I need expert advice on my case. I have finished my university work and ready to apply for the 3 year post-graduation work permit. But my current study permit only allows me to stay in Canada until Aug 1st. I don't think the government can finish processing my work permit application before Aug 1st. What should I do?

Btw, I have all my application documents ready for the post-graduation work permit. Should I just send it out online before my study permit expires?

Thank you all!
 
If you apply for PGWP before your SP expires then you don't have to worry about the expiry date of your SP. Should your SP expires before getting PGWP you will be on "Implied Status" which allows you to stay legally in Canada until any decision is reached on your application for PGWP.

How long does it usually take to process the PGWP? The website only lists work permit (from same and different employer) processing time, not the PGWP. Does it usually take that long (50+ days according to the website) to process PGWP applications?

It means college/university degree, from what I understand.
 
Yeah, don't worry though you seem to have implied status since you've applied for the PGWP, when did you apply?
