Hi guys ... I have generally read on the forums that there are some cases where a an international student may be denied a work permit after graduating from a Canadian university. What are the reasons which may cause this, and if this happens to a person, what can he/she do to still try and work legally in Canada ?

Reasons can be applying too late - or being a part time student during the last two semesters of study. I'm sure there are other reasons as well.

If a student doesn't qualify for a PGWP then they would need to obtain a job offer from an employer and that employer would need to apply for an LMIA in order to get a work permit.

another reason could be the school that student is graduated from is not qualified for PGWP.

Or, could be that student uploads wrong documents or misses important documents (ie. transcript or graduation letter) when s/he applies online or etc.... or also could be that student fills out false information in s/his application.
