In Canada extension approved Sep 11, applied in early July, asked for "bridging permit" of 3 months so I can apply for PGWP without any issues, graduated August, no new LOA provided, biometrics waived due to covid.

I had added an additional 90 days when applying for study permit extension. Glad to see yours was approved.

Why did you extend your study permit by 3 months? Isn’t it an implied status that after you graduate, you have 90 days/3 months to apply for a PGWP?

It would have probably expired before I got my graduation letter and transcripts making it impossible to apply for PGWP.

Does it take that long for those transcripts to be given to you? And are you the one that actually stated how many days should your study permit be extended?

Depends on school, Humber usually takes like 2 months but they are doing it much faster now. I asked for 3 months and that's what I got on the extension.
 
What documents are needed to get another study . Plz elaborate .
Exactly the same you would need if you are doing an extension but not doing another program, lets say you are doing a 2 year program and your permit expires after one year. Plus a letter explaining what you are applying for, in this case a bridging study permit and why, "My current study permit expires right after I finish classes and this will not be enough time for me to receive my graduation letter and apply for PGWP ......."
Confirmation of Enrolment.
Official Transcripts.
 
Hi @bongoman, your case is very similar to mine. Did you need to show any proof of funds, since it was just for a few months? And if you did, what did you use?
