From Study permit to Post Graduation Work Permit

[hongnguyen]

Dear all,

I am an international student!
From 8/2013 to 8/2015 I did and finished my master degree!
From 8/2015 until now I am doing my Ph.D. I got a new Study Permit for period from 8/2015 to 8/2018
My wife came Canada with an Open Work Permit valid until 8/2018
I am now tired and I dont want to study anymore! Can I stop my study and apply for a Post Graduation Work Permit? I had read that we need to apply for Graduation Work Permit within 90 days since the day we graduated (in my case it was on August 2015).
Do I have to leave Canada right away if I got refused for the Post Graduation Work Permit application?
My wife is pregnant and she will deliver a baby on August 2017, this year.

Thank you all!

PGWP application must be within 3 months of graduation, in your case it's more than 16 months now. So, how is it going to work?
