If I'm waiting on a response to the study permit extension application, and my studies are completed, but after the expiry of my existing study permit, I understand my status will be "maintained," and making a PGWP application on maintained status will not allow me to continue being eligible to work.
However, is it breaking any IRCC guidelines if I wait to get the results of the study permit extension application after the completion of my program AND the expiry of my existing study permit? I do not have any other pending academic requirements than getting my thesis approval which will be soon submitted. Do I have to register for the upcoming semester if I submit an extension? Or is it okay not to register for the next term while requesting a "bridging" study permit extension (as they mention many university guidelines for immigration)?
If I apply for a PGWP application after getting the outcome of a study extension application (however, after the expiry of my existing study permit AND completion of my studies), will it allow me to continue being eligible to work?
