Hi I need some advice.
I just completed my program and received my letter of graduation last week. I applied last Dec12 and received a letter of confirmation of submission. But I haven’t received the 2nd letter which says that I can work for any employer with no limitation on hours. Is this normal? How long does it take to receive the second letter?
can I work since I already applied? Or do I have to wait for the second letter? Thanks.

Does ur study permit says that u can work part-time before applying for PGWP? If yes, then u r eligible to work full time until u get a work permit.

thanks! Just to confirm, I do not need to wait for the letter that says I am allowed to work until a specific date? So you mean legally I can work since I already applied and my application is ongoing? Thanks!

Applied PGWP 8-Sep with wife and kid, still no reply. Based on some feedback here; I should get it within the week.
I also did not get WP-EXT letter, but my wife did. All three of our application shows up in my IRCC profile.

I also applied on 8th Sep, still waiting for the approval, and I didn't get my wp-ext letter until now.
