Can I switch last minute from a extension of study permit to PGWP before graduation?

[kpacheco]

Hi, I am international student currently living in toronto. I am enrolled to start my september intake at a public school for 1 year only. I would like to join a second program for next year Fall 2022 intake, but what happen if by then I already extended my study permit and before graduation I receive a good job offer. Can I switch the extension of study permit to PGWP? Will the government approve it?

Thank you very much!

You will have to apply for your PGWP. you cannot switch your SP extension because its a different application. Do take note that PGWP is a one-time privilege, once you get it, you can no longer apply for another one even if you get into another college or uni program.
