one of my friend went through this and he was rejected for the work permit because he was working without applying work permit full time.

I don't think your friend was rejected because of flagpoling. He probably did not follow the rules of his prior permit/visa (?)

U can work full time After submitting it PGWP application. U just need a letter from your university about completing degree requirements.

No. You have to submit the application. You don't have to wait till it is approved. Just submission is OK.

yeah but confirmation letter takes 2-3 weeks. isn't? So he can't work for those 2-3 week right?

No. You have to submit the application. You don't have to wait till it is approved. Just submission is OK.

Delivery of permits will probably be delayed as well because of the Canada Post strike.

Hey guys,

I applied on June 6th and got the approval today (July 6th). Hopefully the strike wont affect too much the delivery of the permit as I need it to apply for TRV.

Yea or you can go "around the flag" go to the us and go back to Canada. If you are eligible.

Yes you can work after you finish school once you are in the process of getting your PGWP which lasts 90 days from when your original confirmation was done

To apply for TRV ? Why?

Isn't the PGWP letter alone sufficient to allow you to remain in Canada?

Just a couple of questions here.

1. I logged into myCIC account today and see that my PGWP application is approved but that's it. It did not specify till when the work permit is valid nor anything about a letter that will be mailed to me soon. Is this normal?

2. I realized that some posters on this thread mentioned that they need the PGWP to apply for their Temporary Resident Visa (TRV). As an international student who just graduated from 4 years of university here recently and have my PGWP approved, do I still need to apply for TRV to remain in Canada? Isn't the PGWP letter alone a valid reason for me to remain here?
