Post Graduation Work Permit refused due to Unauthorized work
- Thread starter sushrut
- Start date
Completion Letter received 12/Sep. PGWP application 7/Oct. That is 3 weeks. 13hrs/week. So total hours worked and paid for; 39hrs.
50/50 chance. Don't worry as you can't do anything now. You may get through as I have seen similar case getting pgwp. All the best
I've seen, in other posts here, some suggestions about "application withdrawal" plus "flagpoling".
Is that recommended/feasible in my case? Thanks.
See you can be caught out anywhere. If it worked for someone else, doesn't mean it would replicate in your case
Your case is really not much to worry about. I got my permit approved with more than a month of unauthorized work
Oops I didn’t mean it that way. I wrote loe explaining my case to the officer. Should’ve been clear. My bad!
For whomever in the situation of unauthorized work, I think it’s best to be honest so you don’t have to worry about any misrepresentation in the future.

Hi.. What does "loe" mean? I'd appreciate if you can tell me what your situation was and how you managed to overcome it and convince the officer to grant you the PGWP. Thank you.
hi I have similar kind of situation what happened with you if you can reply it would be very helpful

2.I worked on Dec 23 and 24 and Jan 2 and 3 which comes under part time ,since I didn't work more than 20 hours

1. If its part of a coop and you had a coop work permit, it is authorized work. I worked for 3 months on a coop. When you say college last date, does this include your coop? College usually doesn't officially finish until after your coop if finished.

I have a similar situation and I'm worried as well
Co-op ended on 23rd August
I was supposed to graduate but my supervisor screwed me over and I was able to graduate only by 31st October.
My work started on 23rd September in the same organization I did my Co-op.
I applied for PGWP only by 23rd November as my university provided me with all the required documents only by then. I was under the assumption that my Co-op work permit is enough for get me going as it had a validity until 31st December. I've understood that Co-op work permit couldn't be used after my Co-op. I'm really worried about the work done without a proper visa.

Why did it have validity until December if your co-op ended August? You can only work full-time on implied status if you have applied for the PGWP, unless the rules have changed since I got my PGWP.
