Hi All,
I have applied for PGWP in late April, I got the work authorization letter stating that I can attach to my study permit and start working for a full time job however in the letter, It say This is valid only till "Oct 26, 2025 or until a decision is made on your application, whichever is first." Can I legally work post that date, As now a days its taking atleast 8 months for the application to be processed, even though the IRCC websites says estimated waiting time is 181 days.
Expert from the letter

This confirms that your application has been received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
Canada (IRCC) on April 29th, 2025 (yyyy/mm/dd).
