Full time work allowance to students

[maximaxx99]

Greetings everyone, I have a question that can I work full time considering the scenario mentioned below.
I initially applied on 31st August, my study permit application got rejected because it was Non-SDS application, then I paid my fees and biometrics, medical, and LOA was done before 7th, I reapplied on 23rd of October, thankfully got my visa and came to Canada. When I reached here, Immigration officer questions a lot about me and then I asked can I work full-time and he said yes you can work full-time but I stil have confusion about my eligibility of full time allowance. Do anyone have similar experience? And what is the case?

You would not be eligible because you applied for a new study permit after October 7. Your first permit was refused.

So it means Immigration officer has told me wrong.

CBSA/border services is not IRCC/immigration so they don’t always know the rules. From the IRCC site:

Who can work more than 20 hours per week off campus
From November 15, 2022, until December 31, 2023, you can work more than 20 hours per week off campus while class is in session if you

• are a study permit holder and are studying at a DLI full-time (or part-time during your final academic session), OR
• have been approved for a study permit but haven’t arrived in Canada yet

In addition, you must meet all these requirements:

• You must ensure we received your application for this study permit (including extensions) on or before October 7, 2022.
• You must have an off-campus work authorization on your study permit.
• You must be either in Canada or coming to Canada by December 31, 2023.

What would be the consequences of working full time?

Working illegally. No PGWP because you worked illegally and over the 20 hours.

Okay thanks, moreover, what does it mean by remarks/observations: BKC240 on my study permit?

no PGWP and fly back to Pakistan. I applied before 7th and even I was confused as I got approved after 7th but as it only says application to revived before 7th oct so thats it. And in your case refusal doesnt matter as I was also refused and got approved 2nd time.
