STUDY
Hello, a friend of mine applied for his study permit extension on May 21st, 2024. Review of eligibility has not started yet. Biometrics is updated. His study permit expires on Aug 30th and his program ends in December.

Website says that the normal processing time is 55 days. It’s been around 40 days till now. Is anyone else in a similar situation? Please reply with your timeline if you applied around at the same time and your application is approved or if it’s still in process.
I am, applied on May 23rd, biometrics updated on June 2nd and the review of eligibility has not started yet.

Hi there,
I'm currently in a tight situation. My study permit will expire on July 30, 2024 and my studies will end in August 2024. So I already applied for an extension on Mar 8, 2024 but till date haven't got any response. I am currently working part time, the contract is till end of August. I know I can study even on maintained status but my concern is "Can I work on maintained status after July 30". Please if anyone has any idea about this, please let me know. Any insights, would help. Thank you!
I believe you can work and study under maintained status until you receive a decision on your application. What the main problem might be is once you submit your PGWP application, I believe you won't be able to work until a decision is made on your application. I'm still doing some research about that scenario, specially when a spouse OWP is involved... I'll post any findings.

Thank you for insights. Yeah, without the permit, there's no point in applying for PGWP
