They send those letters so we can show our employers we are legally allowed to work. They're automated, I believe, and most students in my class for example didn't receive one. You can disregard the date on it, as we are allowed to work until a decision is made. Source: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1181 and https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/work/after-graduation/after-you-apply.html and https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/permit/temporary/extend/after-apply.htmlI have the same question. Even I have applied on 27th august and am working. And my eligibility has not started yet. Just noticed that for somone who applied on 24th it has started. I read somewhere that we have to raise a webform something but not clear on the process if the date exceeds beyond 25 December
If we don’t finalize your application by the date on your letter
If we don’t finalize your application by the date on your letter, you can still keep working until we make a decision.
If your employer or others need proof that you can continue to work
- you can show them this web page, or
- if your employer is not satisfied with the information on this page, you can contact us
