Can I apply PGWP while I am waiting an extension study permit?

[Rakesh Thera]

Hi! May I know the dates you used to fill out the form for those applying for PGWP while on maintaining status? Thank you

Did you find an answer for this??

If anyone can help on this or post some leads, it would be greatly appreciated,

thanks

Hi All,

My timeline is as below.

Applied for study permit ext - Feb 19th 2024
Study permit expired - Mar 31 2024
Finished studies - April 30 2024
Applied for PGWP - June 29 2024

My study permit ext got approved on Aug 16th and was approved only until today. (Aug 31)

Nothing regarding the PGWP. I am waiting for the decision.

*How long did your study permit extension was approved for? And did you do anything when the extension was expired? Pleeease let me know anyone!

Hi! Did you get any correspondence letter after submitting your PGWP application? Thank you

Hi i am RCIC and will answer this for you. if you applied for Study permit extension and now you study permit has expired when you applied for PGWP- then the answer is " you can not work until you get the PGWP"

2nd scenrio - only thing would change this is once you get your SP then you apply again for PGWP and withdraw the previous application.

the 3rd and the best scenario is if you applied for Study permit extension and apply your PGWP on the last day of SP (without completion letter or official transcripts) then you are eligible to continue working.

if you have any questions you can me at 780 938 5806 - Goraya Immigration.

Thank you Sandeep for helping with the same issue. I was not able to find the answer to all these questions but you helped me out and filed my pgwp at the right time helped me to go out of status.
I would really recommend everyone to contact goraya immigration if your study permit is expiring but want to submit your pgwp application in time.
