I worked after graduation but before applying for PGWP, help!

[JamilaMayDG]

You are wrong star member,,, One can't work after graduation unless PGWP application has been launched

Does this mean working on-campus must also be on-hold if you already received your certificate?

You can't work on campus at all after finishing your studies, as you are no longer a full-time student.

I have same situation here.

I received official lette from my college on May 2nd in the afternoon and applied for the PGWP the same day at 9pm .
I started woking full time from may 2nd itself. Will this be a problem in my Pr application?

just write a letter of explanation (my case, i didnt know) and everything should be fine!
Good luck!

Hi Sir,
Can I ask if you have declared that working history in your pgwp application?

Hi, I was wondering did you continue to work under implied status then after you applied for PGWP or you quit your job once you found out?

I am sorry if you can't understand what's written in clear words

After reading this I clearly understood one thing
People can work part time before receiving their transcript n thereafter can work full time only if they are going for another study program within 150 days or have already applied for PGWP .

Its risky to work after receiving your transcript n before applying for PGWP. I mean why on earth would someone delay after receiving their transcript. You have everything on hand now just push the pgwp application button n be free to work full time thereafter.

People who worked fulltime in between that have regretted n some were super lucky to getaway with it. Look every immigration officer is different n not everyone will make a favourable decision for you .if the rules are clear we shouldn't risk

Hi, no problem at all. I got my pr

Hi there, glad to hear you got the PR. Did you have to mention it at all thru LOE or just have to indicate in your personal history? I worked for about 2 weeks too and I put that in my personal history.

Hi. I completed my study in April and Recieved transcript on may 10. To apply work permit I need both transcript and graduation letter. My college told me they gonna send graduation letter on 5 June. I didn't stop working after receiving transcript because I am waiting for graduation letter. Is there gonna be problem for me?

Please help.

I have started working full time on june 4th before i got my transcripts and before applied for my PGWP (june 21st). If i state that this period was part time (as my lawyer suggests), would immigration officer find out from my pay stabs or any other cra websites that I'm lying? I have an idea just to call IRCC and tell them this is what happened and i didnt know, what should i do..

Hello everyone,

You cannot work at all, the day you receive a confirmation from your college/university that you have completed all the requirements of the courses via an email, a letter, a transcript or a diploma.

 

[alexsmith14]

Bump.

Can anyone else comment on their experience?

 

[rish6]

I have seen students deported due to working before applying PGWP and after getting final transcripts. During this period they can't work

So parwinder, youre saying that a student can work during studies but cannot work between - finishing graduation and getting pgwp?

 

[alexsmith14]

I didn't have any problem getting PGWP as well and have not mentioned my mistake.

But will this be a problem when applying for PR... I will have to find out.
