Hi folks,
My current study permit expires in December 2022, and so does my wife's SOWP.
I will get my transcripts and graduation letter in September 2022.
I have NOC A job offer, and the job will start on September 19, 2022.

My query is:
Should I apply for my PGWP first and then wait until I get my PGWP approved for the SOWP extension?
OR
Should I apply for PGWP and SOWP extension together? If yes, then how can we apply together?
OR
Can I apply for SOWP extension on my PGWP applied status?

I am totally confused as our permits are expiring in December.

I would greatly appreciate the guidance.
 
We did flagpoling to get our work permits. While we were there border security officer informed us " You can work if your application is in process". So you both can work after August 22. Basically, its not an SOWP extension its just a new SOWP based on your PGWP. Note: Your 2 pay stubs and offer letter are mandatory documents.
Hello @CommentDebate ,
I know its an old post. I want to know you did an online application and then did flag pooling? How many months later did you apply through flag pooling?

I am not sure about the time between the online application and Flag Polling. Flag polling is like a whole new application and not related to the online one. So you can do it on the same day or months later. We recieved a refund for the online application.

Thank you for the prompt revert @CommentDebate . So you withdrew the application post flag polling?

Hi. Which border did you go to?
 
Hi All..My wife applied for her PGWP couple of days back and we have few questions:
1. How many days will it take to receive "Implied" status letter?
2. If she has 40hr Contract TEER2 job only for 2 months, will that be acceptable to approve my SOWP extension?
