Study permit extension - urgent help required, thank you

[oasis.gc1]

Hi guys,

My study permit was expiring in April end and I submitted the request to extend my study permit in mid April. I am still waiting for my study permit extension.

I have graduated from my program and completed my studies, but I need study permit to apply for my PGWP. I am confused if the Visa OFficer will grant me extension because logically I have completed my studies.

Please help

Cheers

Yes, I am in the same situation too. My program ends on Aug 31 and my study permit is valid only till Aug 31. So I don't have the three months grace period to apply for a PGWP from within Canada. I spoke to my school's immigration consultant and he asked me to apply for a SP extension (mentioning my details and requesting for a 90 day "bridge extension" in the cover letter). However, there is no guarantee that the SP will be extended...

I applied for SP extension on April 15. No word yet...the processing time for online apps has stretched from 60 days to 88 days now...
