Working while waiting for a Student Visa

[francesca87]

Hi,
I need help with my situation.
I’m now in implied status.
My OWP expired in April 2020. Before it expired I applied for the renewal of my work permit and also for a student visa. I got my student visa a few days ago.
can I continue working or should I stop until my course will start in September?
thank you

Under what grounds did you request to renew a OWP, was it a BOWP?

It was a OWP accompanying spouse, based on my husband LMIA WP.

You can continue working until you get the notification of your new WP approval/rejection, it's independent from your study permit.
