Hi, I am currently on a study permit and I just finished my course. Since my PGWP was only 1 year and I am an Iranian citizen I decided to apply for the open work permit under special measures for Iranian citizens as that is usually 3 years.
I was confused about whether I’m allowed to work full-time while I wait for a decision. However, I double checked with IRCC that as long as I have applied for a work permit before my study permit expired I’m allowed to work.
It’s important to note that my course required a co-op work permit and so I also have a co-op work permit right now.
I have just received the WP-EXT letter that says I am authorised to continue working under the same conditions as my work permit number that refers to my co-op work permit. However my co op work permit was only for my studies. That technically puts me in a position where I can not work.
What should I do? Would it be wise to send a web form to ircc? If so, what do I say?
