Hello, my name is kamal I applied for pswp on June 1st and currently I'm working as food supervisor in a restaurant and I also applied for my husband open work permit extensions on July 16 but now my question is my study permit and sin will expired on 31st July
Can I work after that??????
Any idea when my work permit

It’s to my understanding that you cannot apply for your spouse until you have your PGWP in hand and 3 recent pay slips from your job.

You can continue to work if you met all the requirements prior to applying PGWP, until the decision of your PGWP.

yes, you need pay $255 for pgwp. However, the coop wp is free to apply i think
I'm still applying for a student permit, and my program requires co-op/internship. I already send my application. Today, they send me a request letter asking to pay for a work permit fee.

I'm a bit confused why do I have to pay a work permit fee. By the way, I'm applying together with my husband for OWP.

Yes, Normal Open Work permit need to pay, but coop work permit doesn’t.
You said you are still apply the study permit? If you want apply coop work permit, you must have a valid study permit first.
