Hi
I need some help with understanding the terms to apply for Bridging Work Permit. My situation is as follows:
- I am currently on Student Visa, pursuing my MBA (passing out in August 2019).
- I have recently applied for PR on 4th June, 2019 based on my past work history and education. I basically could've applied for PR and then come to Canada, but there was a lack of knowledge on my end.
Since I am on student visa, I cannot currently apply to full-time jobs, even though I have offers coming in, since my work permit will not be available to me before the end of August. I came across the concept of Bridging Work Permit wherein anyone who has applied for PR can apply for this to be able to work full-time.
Wanted to know if I can apply for Bridging Work Permit while being on student visa, and having applied for PR? Will it enable me to work more full-time, like a lot of my PR colleagues have already started?
Thanks
