Hi all,

I have a question that I just realized as I am working 15 hours off campus per week.

I recently completed my program (final grade is issued) and still waiting for the written confirmation from my institution indicating that I am eligible to graduate, so I can apply for post grad work permit.

Am I allowed to continue to work part-time (no more than 20 hours) during this transition period? Or must I cease working because I am no longer a "full time" student?

Thanks!

as you have completed your course you should stop working.

You can start work again, in fact full time once you have submitted your PGWP application pending approval but until then no work.
