Study Completed Canada Went Out & Applied PGWP Can Work
-
Pursuant to the IRCC guidelines, you may apply for a PGWP either inside Canada or outside Canada as long as you are within 180 days from the date you completed your studies. Once you have applied for a PGWP, you may legally work in Canada while a decision is being made on your application if you meet the following requirements:
1) you had a valid study permit at the time you submitted your application
2) you have successfully completed your studies
3) you were eligible to work off campus without a work permit while studying and you didn’t work more hours than you were allowed to
In your case, you would be eligible to work in Canada even though you have not received your PGWP as of yet.
