Applying for Post Graduate work permit more than 90 days after graduation

[Satchboogies]

Hi all,

I finished my Masters in Computer Science at Simon Fraser University and got my letter of completion on May 15, 2014. I immediately joined for a PhD at the same school, so did not apply for a Post Graduate work permit at that time. Now I am not sure about continuing my PhD anymore and want to look for jobs. But it's been more than 90 days since I graduated. Is there any way I can apply for a work permit now if I quit my PhD?

FYI: I have applied for PR through BC PNP but I am not expecting it for at least another year.

Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately it's too late to apply for a PGWP if the 90 day window has passed.

DO NOT WORRY !!!

You can apply for open work permit if you have an acknowledgement of receipt (AOR) for your PR application.

PM me if you have any questions.

1. The OP has applied for PNP through PNP BC, the processing time and s/he feels that the processing time will be at least year before he can apply for work permit with the PNP nomination. As s/he is presently on a study permit, if s/he drops out the study permit is void in 90 days.
