Hello All,

I applied for my study permit extension on September 2022 which was about to expire on December 2022. So far, there’s no update on the SP extension application. Meanwhile I have completed my graduation on January 2023.

I am planning to apply for PGWP now. My questions are:

1) Can I apply my PGWP now while the SP extension application is still in progress?

2) If I apply PGWP while on maintained SP status, am I eligible to start working full-time before receiving the PGWP?

You are eligible to submit a PGWP application on maintained status, but it will make you lose the ability to work full-time while waiting on the outcome of your PGWP. You can only work full-time once your PGWP is approved in that case. I'm in a similar situation, as I was advised by an immigration advisor at school to wait until the SP extension results and then apply. However, I was advised not to wait until more than 90 days from the date of completion of my program, as it would invalidate my status as a student.

If I'm waiting on a response to the study permit extension application, and my studies are completed, but after the expiry of my existing study permit, I understand my status will be "maintained," and making a PGWP application on maintained status will not allow me to continue being eligible to work.

However, is it breaking any IRCC guidelines if I wait to get the results of the study permit extension application after the completion of my program AND the expiry of my existing study permit? I do not have any other pending academic requirements than getting my thesis approval which will be soon submitted. Do I have to register for the upcoming semester if I submit an extension? Or is it okay not to register for the next term while requesting a "bridging" study permit extension (as they mention many university guidelines for immigration)?

If I apply for a PGWP application after getting the outcome of a study extension application (however, after the expiry of my existing study permit AND completion of my studies), will it allow me to continue being eligible to work?

My friend submitted on Sep 13th and his Application number was 3068 series and your number is 3069. That's so weird.

My friend applied on Sep 13th is 3073.

Nope, not even review

 

[gursimran15]

Please update whenever you get the approval!! Because mine is w3074

 

[Mandalorian]

My friend applied on Sep 13th is 3073.

I'm sorry about the mix up. I asked him again. He said it was an approximate date and he doesn't remember. He think it's Sep 7 - Sep 9 is when he applied.
