Hello everyone


I just completed my study and applied for work permit last week. I just want to know if I am allowed to work full time legally before getting the work permit or have to wait 3 months to work before get work permit.

Thanks!

If by work permit you mean a PGWP then sure once you have applied you can work full time pending a decision

Guidance is here After the making an application section

Only after work permit , that's how they count the actual years.
