Hey Everyone..!

I am on my post graduation WP right now which is expiring in MR 2016 (next month). I have applied for BOWP already in Nov 2015. No ans yet! I am also a 'frustrated' AU 2014 PR applicant.PR file is still in process. nothing received except AOR.
Now my que is, what my status is after next month when my PGWP expires (if I dont get my BOWP by next month)??? As long as I know its Implied status.. (please correct me if I am wrong!) Is this a valid status?? If I change my job what should I inform to my new employers about my status?? Do I considered as a worker who can work for any employer in cananda???
Can I start any study in my this situation??

Thanks much for your time and answers..!!

If you have applied for BOWP then you will have implied status until CIC write back and either approve or decline your BOWP. If you are working at the moment I would stay with the same employer, it will be easier to explain the situation to a boss you have a rapport with. However, you can technically work for anyone but you will likely have problems finding an employer who is willing to take on a foreign worker without a valid permit authorizing them to work.

gd luck

No You cannot study on WP and even on the implied status!!!
Implied status is like your WP terms continue until you hear back from CIC with regards to BOWP
