Hi,

My friend's student visa has expired, and she is waiting for her work permit. Her previous company want to rehire her, if she is eligible to work at the moment?

It's not a PGWP, she got that one three years ago. After expiration, she went back to school with a student visa. Now she is in common law with a Canadian citizen and waiting for her another work permit. She doesn't know if she can get to work at this situation.

No - she is not eligible to work at this time.

She needs to obtain a work permit in order to be eligible to work. Once the work permit is approved, she will be able to start working.
