Hi All,

I am an international student and studying 8 months course which ended in July 2019. Can I start working immediately after I apply for PGWP? I have read in CIC website that I don't have to wait for PGWP to arrive and can start working legally full time. However, I need confirmation on the same. Also, do they issue any letter/confirmation that confirms that I can start working? I currently had an interview with a company but I'm scared that they will reject me if they get to know I am yet to receive PGWP. Do you have any idea if companies accept if you tell them your application is in the process? Please help. Thankyou!

You can start working full time as soon as you apply if you applied while your sp was still valid.

Some companies understand the process and some dont and will require you to actually get the pgwp to work for them.
