Hi! How did it go for you? My sister's study permit extension is also in progress (she applied more than 2 months ago) and in a few weeks time, she'd be getting the completion confirmation from the school.
Study permit extension and PGWP
- Thread starter Hetwee27
- Start date
Hey i got my pgwp and sp extension approved together and spe took over 8 months and pgwp 4 months but both got approved same day
I
I started working full time from the next day I applied for pgwp, you can work with no issues
I think this is wrong. I asked the ircc twitter's page, and they answered this:
"In order to be able to work while you wait for a decision on your PGWP, you'll need to have a valid study permit when you apply for a PGWP. You would not be able to work if your study permit is approved after you apply for your PGWP."
I got the same reply from twitter and ircc customer service agent but i talked to the officer through the webform he replied i can work as long as i had implied status(out of status is different story tho)
So i did worked full time and i got my applications approved, Remember ircc twitter page and calls are handled by agents not the visa officers!
This makes sense. But do you think that maybe the officer that replied to your webform could have thought that you were under implied status because of your pgwp application (i.e., work permit implied status), instead of your correct implied status (study permit implied status)? Or did you explained the full situation to him?
I did explained my situation very well to the officer and he was very understanding
