Hi this might help: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/work/after-graduation/apply.html#:~:text=If your study permit expires before you applyHello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I'm currently facing a situation that's causing me a bit of concern, and I thought this forum might be a great place to seek advice and hear from others who might be in a similar boat.
A little background: I recently applied for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP) just a week after my study permit had expired. I understand that there might be certain challenges associated with this situation, and I'm looking for any guidance or insights from those who have experienced something similar.
I have a few questions that I'd greatly appreciate any input on:
I've been checking my application status regularly, but I haven't received any updates yet. I'm also a bit worried about my status during this waiting period.
- Has anyone here applied for a PGWP after their study permit had already expired?
- What were your experiences with the processing times and overall application process in this scenario?
- Were you able to continue staying in the country while waiting for the PGWP decision?
If anyone could share their experiences, advice, or resources that might be helpful in my situation, I would be incredibly grateful. I understand that each case might be unique, but hearing from others who have gone through something similar would give me a better understanding of what to expect.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Any insights you can provide would mean a lot to me. Let's support each other through these challenging times.
You are fine but you do need to restore your status as a student as mentioned in the link above.
