LOR? I think you are referring to LOE Letter of explanation.
I did mention in LOE about the work. Depending on how one interpret, if it was unauthorized, it was max 2 week. If it was unauthorized, I am not sure.

Anyway, I think that it was my mistake that I dod that, if they consider it unauthorized . And I apologized in the letter. I think it is pretty common. People do that often.

I got pgwp with no problems three years ago, even I mentioned the work in the pgwp application. I didn't know that time that may be it was supposed to be an unauthorized work.

Hello. I would really appreciate any update if someone was approved after the cases where they worked before applying PGWP and after completion of study and they wrote that in their LOE. Thanks

You are only authorized to work full time once you are on implied status i.e after you send online application for PGWP
I don’t think this is true.

do you have any valid evidence supporting your statement? I have read post of many senior members on this forum advising people asking same questions that they can only work once their PGWP is approved.

Hope you can clear this out

Hi. Yes, I got the PR. Seems like it's not a big issue. I added an LOE letter though when I applied and apologized.
Good luck!

I also got my PR, to give you more piece of mind :) I had 2 weeks of unauthorized work after graduating and before PGWP application. I totally thought this was allowed during the time; I think there are a lot of cases like this. I submitted an LOE explaining that and apologizing for this mistake. Good luck everyone!

Hello all.
I am in a dilemma.
Actually after completing my course, I started looking for work right away which fortunately I got 1 and they wanted someone asap.
Once I received my Letter of completion, and transcript, I started working on the next day, thinking my lawyer would apply same day but she applied it after
1 week. Now I am afraid this may cause any problem. Anyone can help me please !!
Should I tell my employer to change the starting date?
Timeline:
Course ended: 28 Aug 2023
Date started to work: 08 Sept 2023
Date applied for PGWP: 15 Sept 2023
