This is so annoying.... When I applied in 25 May, it was 48 days..... people do take decisions based on this information... and now I have to wait 16 more days, it's a lot!!

Hay guys, I got my work permit approval email today ..march 30th.
I studied 1 year graduate certificate and a normal trade certificate(i extended my study permit for this) and got the permit for 3 years.
My name was given twice on work permit(like steyn smith steyn smith) as i have given the name again on the last name, because i don't have a last name on passport.Do u guys know how to change name on it?Hope it won't create any problems in future
I took a 3 months break between courses and did not worked on sin.
Thank u all :)

Guys, my application for PGWP got rejected. Friday afternoon I got the message. Now I am in a stressful situation. Reason they say is mine is not a full time course!! Where as it is clearly written in the course completion letter from the college that mine is a full time course. I do not know how they did not notice that. Unfortunately my study permit expired last week.This means that I am now staying in the country illegal? Can somebody advice me what shall I do now? Do you think I can make an appeal CIC to correct the mistake? Now I am already exceeded one week overstay. Do you think this will create a problem further?Have I to leave the country immediately before asking for the correction? Are there any other ways to deal this situation? I am totally confused and stressed:(. Can somebody with the same situation in the recent past give me some advice?

Did you have any part-time semester?

My daughter had 8 full -time semesters and extra 9th as part-time. I worry about it.
