LMIA Work Permit Query

[cboy46787]

I am currently working with a company as a full time employee after completion of my student Co-op with same company and also got the graduation letter recently from my college as Co-Op is completed in December .I have the approved Global stream LMIA for the same employer .My current TRV(student/co-op permit ) is only valid until march mid so can it cause any problem as I already completed my studies and still doing 40 hrs job without applying the work permit.

I don't believe you are supposed to be working full time until you've applied for a PGWP. But I could be wrong about that.

Hey, I was wondering, why did not apply for work permit cuz u already have LMIA approval.It might be a big problem down the road(i hope u can get over it i pray for u) u r totally working illegally cuz u have to apply for work permit thru LMIA .....as soon as u get the temporary work permit u also update ur sin number at ur local service Canada ( I am not 100% sure about updating ur sin#) plz do not work untill u have the post graduation open work permit or LMIA work permit

Have you applied for a Post Graduate Work Permit? I am working with the company that I had my co-op work term with and I applied for the PGWP as soon as I got the graduation letter as you can't work legally without it as far as I am aware. With a PGWP you don't need LMIA approval as it is an open work permit.
