Hi,

I just finished college, I have already a job offer and my question is whether I can start working after I apply for my PGWP, under implied status.

Please see the following link: http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/section-186.html,
clause (w) and let me know what is your opinion

You can start working, to get the documentation you can call CIC inquiring the same and also ask them if they can send you something in writing...

I did the same and also in the same situation.

They will send you a mail stating that you are legally allowed to work under implied status until the decision is made on your application.

Do you also have an off campus work permit?

Or does your permit have a condition written than allows you to work on and off campus?

Because mine has only on campus, so I have to amend it, after the regulations that kicked in June 2014, before I start working.
