I applied to extend my student permit before it expires, i finished my studies, i applied for PGWP but no answer for my studies permit, can i work ?

[Naturgrl]

Anyone knows, should I raise a webform ? cause my agent said to me that if we raise a web form then it will be hard to get the extension or we can get a refusal as I have already completed my studies…

Apply for PGWP and wait for approval but you cannot work. Study permit extension processing is not almost 6 months so no sense in delaying.

I raised webforms and reports about application but nothing is updated yet.

Brother did you get any updates or what to do in this situation. I am in the same situation. I need guidance.

Hello Everyone,

I applied for an extension of my study permit before it expired, and I am currently on implied status while the application is being processed. I have completed my studies, and I have applied for a PGWP. ( till this day my application for study permit extension is still being processed, i applied on April)

Based on the information available, I understand that I may be allowed to work full-time in Canada once I submit my application for a PGWP, provided that I meet certain conditions, including applying for the PGWP before my study permit expired and being a full-time student who has completed their program of study.

Could you please confirm if my understanding is correct? Specifically, I would like to know if I can start working full-time in Canada while my PGWP application is being processed, given that I have applied for an extension of my study permit before it expired and am on implied status.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or clarification you can provide on this matter.

Thank you

Hey you got any update i a in same situation?

I want to know if anyone have the Idea about the new rule in may 28th, if it permits someone who was on study permit implied status to work after applying for PGWP due to early graduation and still expecting approval for the study permit extention

When you applied for PGWP was your study permit valid? If not you cannot work until PGWP is approved and has nothing to so with the new rule.

Thank you for your reply, I have applied for my study permit extension since August 12th, 2024 prior to its expiration on November 30th, 2024 and I graduated on April 29th, 2025 and obtained my Certificate of Graduation, I applied for PGWP on May 3rd. I have not heard anything since then, I had a job before graduating and I have to stop and waiting on either the study permit approval or the PGWP approval.

So if you get study permit extension approved within 90 days of course completion, then withdraw PGWP application and reapply. Then you can start working again.
