Hi guys, I applied on November 30. I just talked to an agent who told me that my eligibility has been completed even though it shows currently reviewing eligibility in my account and my application is awaiting a final decision. She told me many applications from even October has not been processed yet. She told me I can keep working part time even after my graduation letter which was really ambiguous. So I believe the more you contact them the more they consider it, try sending them feedbacks that Ronypatel mentioned.

I will be a bit cautious here. There isn't an ambiguity in the rule. You can work with the conditions of your study permit until you receive a completion letter or final grades.

You should apply for a work permit as soon as if you want to continue working..or not depending on who you want to believe.

No, to both.

Here's why: Update on Working
Thanks. Ahhh!! Tsk tsk...This is confusing. I just talked to an immigrant officer her name is daniele. She told me, once I submit my pgwp application while the student permit extension result is not yet available. They will cancel that SP application or withdraw. And because my program Is already finished. Then prioritize my pgwp application instead. and I could start working full time once the pgwp is lodged and I received a letter of application confirmation.

Also the school’s international services advices me the same.

So you will not work until you received your pgwp? It will take again maybe more than the processing times. (3-6 months) again... :(

I am so anxious right now. If this will happen to me, it will be a huge burden.

Well, unfortunately it is always advisable to be cautious with untraceable information, that is why it is important to have it in written form should the unthinkable happen.

I have heard varying information from different agents. Another guy I spoke to, who applied for extension on the same date as me and PGWP on March 31st, said his school has handled such cases before and advised him not to work until his PGWP comes in regardless of when he receives his SP. I believe it is a bit of a risk in case the PGWP is refused and you then having to contest with the legalities of unauthorized work, etc.
