Hey,
I have the same situation, I applied on May 12th and have not received that special receipt you are talking about, and received a job offer from an employer. they want me to show them the work permit.
"Are you full-time student at participating post-secondary institution and want to work off-campus up to 20 hours per week?"
For this question I selected YES option. And now I got to know that we should select it NO while applying for PGWP. What should I do now? Any idea.
And as I selected YES it asked me to submit IMM5257 form.

If you already submitted your application then I think you can use the web form on the IRCC website to inform them of your mistake.
I believe I answered no for this question and it gave me the IMM5257 form as an optional document. On the original application form it asks what kind of permit you are applying for anyway, it won't hurt to have the form on there, if anything it will just give them more information to your case.
hello, is there any update on that letter?. did you receive the letter?
I applied on May 15 still today I did not receive any letter. is it ok to work full time without that letter as I applied for the pgwp. I am a little worried about it. can you please reply thank you?
Hello, if you received the first acknowledgment letter then as proof of your application you can work full time I think, we both have the same situation. I applied on May 11th and received the first acknowledgment only. On IRCC's website, they have not mentioned anything about the difference between these two letters so I think there is no problem to work full time once you apply for PGWP. My guess is that when the numbers of applicants increase during a certain time then they send these letters to the applicants but when the applicant pool is not too many they don't issue these letters.
hello, did you receive the letter? I am in the same situation I applied on May 15 but did not receive it till today. can you please tell me what happened with your case?
Thank you
can you please provide the contact number i tried calling it says automated message only
Thank you
I just received the submission confirmation, not the WP Ext document on my IRCC portal. with that confirmation itself can i work full time?
Hi,
Me too, Like I said that document is generated automatically so I'm pretty sure when the number of applicants increase the system send that document to the applicants so don't worry and based on this link you can work

When I applied I got the WP-EXT letter the next day, but that was because I said "Post Grad Work Permit" on the main application form. As long as you selected the correct application that you are applying for then there shouldn't be an issue. My school even said that as soon as we press submit on our application then you are free to work full time.
Hi, Have you got this letter yet or not as applied on May 22 and still not got this letter. So without this am I eligible to work or not ?
