study permit expires while waiting for post graduate work permit

[Taylorzhou]

Hi I need your help! My study permit is expiring in three weeks, and my pgwp hasn't arrived yet. I called CIC this morning and they said my work permit was approved but just not sent out yet (which may take up to two month...). I am currently working full time now, my question is if my study permit expires, will I still be able to work fulltime while my work permit is on its way?

If your visa expires you will be under implied status. It means you can keep working until your visa arrives. There is nothing to worry about.
