Question regarding PGWP application

[sam.devilz19]

Greetings,

My current study permit is due an expiry by the end of April, 2023. Ideally, I should've finished my masters program by end of Dec, 2022 but unfortunately due to delay in review of my thesis, I'm told by the university that getting the final approval on my thesis may get stretched by two months i.e. by the end of Feb, 2023.

I'm aware that based on the recent updates from IRCC, there is going to be no 20-hour work limit for off-campus jobs from November 15th, 2022. Ref: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2022/10/international-students-to-help-address-canadas-labour-shortage.html

I've received a couple of full-time work offers in my domain both with a start date to be Jan. 1st, 2023. I'd like to be able to take on of the jobs while making sure I'm not breaking any conditions of my status in Canada. My questions are:

1. Would I be eligible to take the full-time off-campus job starting Jan 1st, 2023 in light to the new changes for international students about limit on off-campus work hours while being on a valid study permit?
2. Do I have to apply for a study permit extension, if I'll be completing my degree requirements sometime in Feb, 2023? If so, how soon should I submit an application?
3. If I'm to apply for a PGWP after completion of my degree in Feb, 2023: Would I be considered on an "Implied" status upon expiry of my study permit i.e. April 30, while waiting on my PGWP application? Does that also mean, I can continue working full-time during this period?

Appreciate your time reading through my post and sharing your thoughts.

Your completion letter will be issued in feb 2023 and you have study permit vaill till april 2023. So no need for extension.

I am not sure that you will register for winter term. But you can work till the date you got the completion letter from university.

You must apply for pgwp before april 2023 so can again start working fulltime.

Make sure you are not allowed to work between date of completion to pgwp application date.

My university registers students automatically unless they apply for graduation upon approval of their thesis. I was automatically enrolled into Winter semester. Yeah, I'm intending to apply for PGWP before expiry of my study permit i.e. April 2023. Thanks for sharing the info.

If I apply for PGWP on the same day I receive completion letter, and if I continued working full-time from January first, would that be a problem?

Since your study permit allows you to work full-time, you can work full-time from January 2023. And since you will be having a valid study permit when you apply for your PGWP, you can continue to work.
