I am applying with implied status btw. My employer scontacted an agent on my behalf last week and they were told I could continue work but I had to decline since I wasn't getting a direct correspondence from the IRCC. I have a lot on the line, not going to jeopardize it.
yeah , you're right. Same as me, I stopped working part-time since Mar 3, 2020, coz that's the expiration of my student permit. although I am entitled to work under the condition of my old student permit. I stopped.I am applying with implied status btw.

You didn't have to stop as long as you are still enrolled and attending classes etc.yeah , you're right. Same as me, I stopped working part-time since Mar 3, 2020, coz that's the expiration of my student permit. although I am entitled to work under the condition of my old student permit. I stopped.
You already applied for PGWP right? under implied status, just to clarify, and you stopped working?I am applying with implied status btw.

No, I am waiting for a study permit extension but plan to apply for a PGWP this weekend if it doesn't come in. I applied on November 20th, seven days before you apparently.You already applied for PGWP right? under implied status, just to clarify, and you stopped working?
Oh, I guess, you are also checking every day. The last time I emailed them, Mar. 25, they told me they are still processing applications before November 8, 2019. Let me know if you receive yours.

Hello, I’m in the same situation. I’ve been checking the government’s site everyday and I’m not sure but I think they updated the website. I remember last week they informed that student who were on implied status because request to study permit or changed his/her status for visitor could not working while waiting for a decision. There was this remarks under the both situation. However, now there is this note just for visitor status... I’m a little confuse. I don’t know if I was clear.I am applying with implied status btw.

Yeah, I noticed this too and pointed it out to a consultant who told me she wasn't sure how to interpret the rule regarding applicants with implied status.Hello, I’m in the same situation.

I did speak to an IRCC agent today who said this:
Okay, I just got off the phone with another agent whose name and PID I collected. I asked him of my eligibility to apply on Implied status for PGWP and if I am able to work when I do that.
The answer he gave me about Implied status application did not sound too convincing - although I didn't need him to convince me since it is on their website - he sort of rambled on about how processing times are not correct and I might have to apply for PGWP on implied status and hope the officer reasons along those lines when processing the application.
On whether we can work if we applied for PGWP on implies status for study permit, he consulted with some "consultant" on the background and returned by saying unequivocally that "NO, YOU CANNOT WORK unless your study permit was active at the time of PGWP application".
My conclusion from the conversation is that the whole thing is up in the air, at least until the IRCC updates their website with specific instruction for that scenario.
I’m worried.thank you for the enlightenment. I will also call and clarify this. The safest thing to do is not to work? While on implied status? And while waiting for the pgwp results.Yeah, I noticed this too and pointed it out to a consultant who told me she wasn't sure how to interpret the rule regarding applicants with implied status.

Did you get this response from IRCC consultant???? The response was not clear... ... I remember that I read this remark for study permit extension and visitor status changing... they were informing that in the same sentence...Yeah, I noticed this too and pointed it out to a consultant who told me she wasn't sure how to interpret the rule regarding applicants with implied status.

Aalso, we don’t know about the spouse... the spouse will be not eligible to apply for the WP since the the “student” can’t not work. I had a job offer, so my husband could apply for his WP as well if I can work. Now he must wait, however, we don’t know for how long... let’s wait for. Thanks
Yes, unless there is a written information on the IRCC website, it is better not to work. Someone on this forum @ree14 spoke to an IRCC agent today as well who said we could work full time, but those agents have been known to give wrong information to applicants before. They are famed for being poorly trained overall.I’m worried.thank you for the enlightenment. I will also call and clarify this. The safest thing to do is not to work? While on implied status?

Why don't you call the IRCC number tomorrow (or today depending on your time). You can reach them on +18882422100. Although there's a bit of a wait and you have to call them within a certain time frame and from Canada.Did you get this response from IRCC consultant???? The response was not clear... ...
