Hi everyone,
I had a question. I have filled out my express entry and have 549 points. I enrolled in a summer semester for just two courses which I completed in June 2021. As soon as I completed the courses I continued to work with my study permit and have only applied for pgwp in september. I worked from June 21st to Septmeber 3rd in a Day Camp as a counsellor. Only now I realized that that work was unauthorized and I should have applied right away for pgwp to have been able to work legally. I have been paid and have an ROE. It was a genuine mistake, I honestly believed that I could continue to work full time with study permit once I was not enrolled in courses as thats what I considered a schedule regularly break. I was waiting until October for my convocation. I was misinformed. I later applied for PGWP Iin Septmeber, declared the work and I had my PGWP granted. I never provided any explanation for it because I assumed it was authorized and I never got asked questions from IRCC. Can someone please advise though how to proceed in this case regarding PR application or express entry? Is this a major issue that may impact the result of the PR? Will a LOE suffice to let them know it was a genuine mistake and I never meant for it to happen. That was btw my first job in Canada. I never had any intentions of working unauthorized. Thank you!
