Hey everyone, I just finished my studies in a DVS program (Computer Support) and I've applied for a work permit online, and they gave me the receipt which counts as a valid document to work anywhere in Canada, my study permit is still working and will expire till' 31st March.

My question is, is it legal to work while having a valid study permit (and applied for work permit and have the receipt that allows you to work) while full time without problems? There was recently a problem with an immigrant that caused her trouble: https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2020/01/15/une-camerounaise-expulsee-apres-avoir-ete-une-bonne-eleve?fbclid=IwAR3PBYyHRIL5HwpGUNmPzSiaadOWXyfRS2S4O1BHXCBrKnHsxPrMMApxXJQ

Yes because you have filed for PGWP. Would like others just to confirm that I am right after reading the news piece.
