Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[Asli]

Hello guys. I have a quick question. I completed my studies on May, 2019 and my study permit will expire on Agust 31st. I applied for a PGWP on July 7 and still waiting for the result. On my study permit it says I can work off campus. However I never worked during my studies. Now I am looking for a job and I have a job interview today. In my case, can work until I hear a decision about my PGWP even though I already completed my studies and not a student anymore???

Thank you very much for your reply. I was concerning if I can work legally or not if I find the job after completing my studies and lost my status as a student.

Sure! I applied for the extension of the temporary visitor status of my dependents. So I am not sure if this effects the processing time of my application or not.

I applied mine last year, took a month. But you can keep working as long as you have applied for PGWP anyway, so it really dont matter.
