Currently working, want to get PGWP

[ddcc]

Hi,

I'm currently on an off-campus work permit, and I started work a few months ago after graduating from a Canadian university. I would like to get a PGWP, because I should be able to get 3 years (rather than 2 for the normal work permit, IIRC), but the IMM5710E form only lets me put a date AFTER today's date for the start of employment. To reiterate, I started months ago. Is the PGWP applicable to me, and what should I put in the field?

Thanks!

1. You know that you had to apply for a PGWP within 90 days of graduation?

Yes, sorry; I started work in May, and I graduated in May as well.

As PMM already mentioned, here's one of the requirements:

You must apply for a work permit within 90 days of receiving written confirmation (for example, a transcript or an official letter) from your institution indicating that you have met the requirements for completing your academic program.

Please see above - I made a mistake in saying "a few months."
