    That's what I deduced but IRCC''s messaging is unclear, so i'll wait before spending money.

    PGWP 2023 extension Opt In: Passport expires just a few days before the 18 months

    Nope, just the work authorization mail. Funnily enough the work authorization mail says if your permit is valid you can opt-in, but doesn't mention any requirements and doesn't link to the form. I was unaware of this entire program until I got the work authorization email. As my permit is not...

    PGWP 2023 extension Opt In: Passport expires just a few days before the 18 months

    Unless your permit is expiring soon I would suggest you wait until the end of this month. IRCC will be contactable on the 11th and hopefully they clarify what exactly is the criteria. The work authorisation form says we should qualify for opt-in but we don't

    PGWP 2023 extension Opt In: Passport expires just a few days before the 18 months

    U have applied all my work permits myself and they are all in the same account. My passport expires in 2028. The only thing I can see that would cause me not to be eligible for the opt-in process is that I applied for the 18 month extension program in 2021-22. I am unsure if this is a technical...

    No response after application submission - new PGWP public policy open work permit

    Don't worry, as your application has been submitted you have done it, and have proof of it. Sometimes IRCC notifications can be late. The option of exemption from fees is standard so no issues there. As you are only exempted from one fee, you had to make a payment for the other free and the...

    PGWP 2023 extension Opt In: Passport expires just a few days before the 18 months

    This is another stupid thing that they did, check the subject of the email. If it says work authorisation, then you only got the work authorisation email. Check your email, including spam for a mail that has the subject that includes the word "OPT-IN".If it does, then follow the process given in...

    PGWP 2023 extension Opt In: Passport expires just a few days before the 18 months

    Please read the link I sent it explains the entire process in detail in detail. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/permit/post-graduation-work-permit-holders/apply-in-canada.html The mail you got was for the work authorisation, not the opt-in. You are...

    PGWP 2023 extension Opt In: Passport expires just a few days before the 18 months

    I am unsure what exactly is their criteria are for qualifying for the opt-in process, as the only thing they have said is that if you are eligible, then we will send you an email, it's really opaque. However, the only difference between the opt-in and regular process is the payment of $155...

    PGWP 2023 extension Opt In: Passport expires just a few days before the 18 months

    There is a lot of miscommunication with this opt-in thing they started, and it doesn't help that they launched the program just before the good Friday long weekend. If you are not eligible for the opt-in process, and you are still eligible for the program, then you need to follow these exact...

    Extend your open work permit (up to an additional 18 months) - Which idiot made this policy?

    You are eligible; just not for the faster and free opt-in process. You must pay $155 for the application fees, but you will be eligible for the program. Follow these steps here...

    Holding both visitor and worker visa

    No, they will not reject if you have a visitor visa. If you are in Canada, they do not give you the sticker visa(TRV) on your passport, just the permit.

    Is Client Information important under optional documents section along with the PGWP application?

    There is no need for client information, unless you have something else to add. Eg. If your work experience does not fit in the space given, then you can add it in the client information. If you attached both the transcripts, then you should be fine. Just FYI, you will only get 2 years if you...

    Freelance with Student Permit

    Canada doesn't care where you work as a student, only that you maintain the hours as stated on your study permit. The only issue is that as a business unless you bill clients based on the hours you work there is no way to prove that you worked for 20 hours or 25 or 30 hours, which is why it is a...

    Self Employment - SkipTheDishes Uber Eats etc .

    Your status as an International Student has nothing to do with tax filing. I would suggest using software/websites to file your taxes to avoid missing any deductions, I used turbotax to file this year. If you need more help, I would suggest that you consult a tax professional.

    Expired Visa, Valid Study Permit

    You need to Apply for a new TRV(Temporary Residence Visa), and show your study permit. Just to clarify wording, Canada doesn't technically have a visit visa. If you were visiting, you would get a TRV for the purpose of visiting. Since you are a student you will have to get a TRV for the purpose...
