Hi,
I have completed my study between Jan 2022 to Aug 2022. I have a offer letter of next course for Jan 2023 and I have paid 1st semester fee for that. Now I am eligible to work full time between this Aug to Jan 2023 as per IRCC. So I am working around/more than 40 hours a week at this moment.

Within these gap months if I get a full time job in software, Can I change my status from student to PGWP open work permit(1 year) using the first course completion letter. Is it legal to change the status from gap time of two course to PGWP for applying PR in Canadian experience class within next year? I am planning to apply PR using 1 year Canadian experience.

Please suggest.

Under what condition based on the link you provided you are eligible to work full time? can you copy paste that?
