After applying for PGWP - Can I immediately start to work

[Ash2000]

Hi,

I am an international student and got my graduation completion letter on 06-May and applied for PGWP on 08-May.

My query is regarding

1. When can I resume to work as I stopped working after receiving the graduation completion letter. Do I need to wait for IMM 0127 E WP-EXT letter?
2. Can I work for full 40 hrs a week? Can I take a full-time work? I have valid study and CO-OP WP for next 4-5 months.
3. Any dos and don'ts while I wait for PGWP application processing?


The IRCC website does not clearly specify if IMM0127E is mandatory.

Working while we process your application​

You can work full-time until we make a decision on your work permit application if you

• had a valid study permit at the time you submitted your application
• completed your study program
• were eligible to work off campus without a work permit while studying and you didn’t work more hours than you were allowed to

If you received the WP-EXT for PGWP (IMM 0127 E) letter

Thanks
Ash.
