According to cic letter
I can work with same employer same conditions.
Even though i was student before that

I received this letter just because of my mistake.

If you have any another questions you can ask


Brother did u receive work permit? I did the same mistake. Selected open work permit instead of post graduation work permit.

Hi,

I submitted my online application to PGWP 2 weeks ago and now I found a mistake on IMM5710. Instead of saying 'yes' and explaining when I applied/got my study permit, I said 'no' to the following question: "Have you previously applied to enter or remain in Canada?". Even though I proofread the application form maybe 250 times before submitting, this one slipped my attention.
What would you suggest me to do? Any help would be appreciated.
As for me, the best thing to do is t contact CIC right away.

Hi,
I submitted my post graduate work permit application on September 4 and I got confirmation to work on September 5 but I saw the application and I found that I made mistake in the education Column of the form, so my program was computer programming whose short form is cpp but I mistakenly wrote CPA which stands for computer programming and analysis. Can someone tell me what to do because I am panicking right now and I don't want my work permit to reject.

Submit a web form with the updated information.

I don't need to withdraw my application for this mistake right, I don't even know how to submit the web form with the updated document. Can you please tell me how to upload the updated document with webform and the thing is in the education Column there was field and level of education question and field means I studied like computer field, so CPP and CPA both are computer fields so should I submit the web form or is it alright because they Didn't ask for specific course it was just field and they checked the documents and didn't ask for any additional ones and I received a pdf that I am on applied status and can work in Canada, so should I submit the form or not

I don't think you need to withdraw. Just mention in precise language to IRCC whatever you are trying to convey. The maintained status letter is very likely automated.

Hi guys,
I applied for my work permit on july 6, 2024. Still haven’t received decision. Almost all my friends who applied before, after or at same time as me got theirs. Is there anything i can do? Or does this mean there is something wrong?

Hii, I applied my study permit extension in August 2024 and during that in application form I did a mistake in the column of any refusal of visa. I have to tick yes, but by mistake I did no. But I got my study permit. However, now I have to apply for my pgwp for which I have to fill out the same application, so now what should I fill in that column and how can I fix this. Is there will be any problem in getting work permit due to this?

It's better to come clean as soon as you can. (Can change an approved study permit any more)
So put in the truth. I think you can include a letter of explanation to explain what was the refusal and your missed to declare it in your previous study permit.
