So I just applied for a PGWP within the 90 days time and while my study permit was still valid. I wrote an email to the international student advisers in my university to confirm if I have an implied status and I am allowed to work.
They replied that I am not allowed to work because my last semester and my second last semester were part time.
So there is a bit of back ground to this:
January 2018: I have only 2 courses left to complete my graduation, I enrol for those 2 courses, the exam date is in April 2018, but my study permit expires March 31, 2018 and I am unable to renew my study permit before March 31 as someone had stolen all my documents including my passport.
March: I stopped going to classes and did not write the final exam as required by law as I no longer had a valid status.
May: I submit an application for Study permit and restoration of Status within the 90 days providing all supporting documents including letter of explanation of why I failed to renew my study permit and copies of the police report for my stolen documents, along with a letter from university that I have only 2 courses left to complete my program requirements.
Late July: Study permit and restoration approved. I re-enrol for the 2 remaining courses and complete them by December 2018.
January 2019: I get my Credential completion letter
Late February: Applied for PGWP within the 90 time period and Study permit was still valid.
Do you guys see any discrepancies in this? The reason why my university said that I violated the rules is the Spring 2018 semesters which was supposed to be my last and it was the reason why I took two courses. It did not end up being my last as I had to drop out as required by law and I couldn't renew my permit on time due to stolen passport. Since then I got status restored and completed the remaining courses in Fall. I am very confused about whether I am allowed to work while waiting for pgwp or I am ineligible due to Spring 2018 semester.
