Hello Everyone,
I am a recent graduate from Seneca College. I graduated from 2 years program in August 2019. I applied my work permit on November 27th 2019 and it was received by IRCC on 28th November 2019. I have some concerns regarding my application:

Final Term Ended: 16th of August 2019
Graduation status date: 29th of August 2019
Degree Conferral Date: 31st October 2019
Degree granted/convocation Date: 26th of October 2019
Letter of Studies' Completion from College: 4th of September 2019
Study Permit Expiry: 9th November 2021

* We have 180 days to apply for PGWP after completion of studies. Our study permit, regardless of its expiry date, gets INVALID 90 days after studies' completion. We can apply for PGWP within 90 days of our study permit validity and achieve Implied Status, work while decision is pending or else if we don't do so then we MUST change our status online to Visitor Status before our study permit gets invalid or leave Canada and apply for PGWP from back home.

My questions, regarding my application, are following:

1. (Referring above important dates) Since when my 180 days to apply for PGWP start from? Either they start from (16/08/2019, 29/08/2019, 04/09/2019, 26/10/2019 or 31/10/2019) ?

2. (Referring above important dates)
Since when my 90 days of current study permit validity start from and ends at? Either they start from (16/08/2019, 29/08/2019, 04/09/2019, 26/10/2019 or 31/10/2019) and end at
(14/11/2019, 27/11/2019, 03/12/2019, 24/01/2020 or 29/01/2020) ?

3. Suppose if my deadline of Study Permit Validity( 90 days after studies' completion ) was either 14th November or 27th November of 2019. IRCC received my application on 28th November of 2019 and that means that I failed to apply my PGWP while my student status was valid and even didn't change my status to a visitor before its invalidity and hence, i'm not even on implied status but i'm out of status while my PGWP application is under process. In this case, do I have to apply the restoration fees of $200 in order to prevent it from being rejected?

4. Please on witnessing most precise knowledge of deadlines dates and the dates I mentioned above, let me know that whether I'm under implied status or not and need to pay for restoration or not?

Please give feed backs with genuine links/sources in your first convenience.

Thanks

1. 180 starts the day that your graduation status is known.

2. 90 starts the day your studies end.

3. It might be rejected anyway since its invalid application.

4. You should go talk to international advisor at Seneca immediately. Some of this might depend on what dates are actually on your letter of completion & transcripts.
