Work requirement after completing last semester and waiting result

[priya_98]

Hi,

I have completed my last semester of course and currently awaiting the result followed by transcripts & degree. I need to know if i can work 20 hours (or full time) on my SIN or not.

Students at my college are saying we cannot do any work until transcripts are received that could take up-to 2 months.

Please advise.

You can work 20 hours a week till you apply for your PGWP. As soon as you apply for your PGWP (which is after getting final transcripts), you can work full time. This assumes that you are eligible for a PGWP.

You can work part time until your results come out., then you cant work. Once you apply for pgwp you can work full time, provided you applied with a valid study permit and were allowed to work before.

Combination of two things

1. Your study permit remains valid till you get your final transcript - that's why you can work legally 20 hours till your course is deemed complete. Once it's completed, you are not allowed to work UNTIL you submit a PGWP application.
2. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/study-permits/post-graduation-work-permit-program/permit.html
