I completed my 2 years diploma from Sheridan college and went to see my parents and attend the wedding of my brother. I applied for my PGW permit from India. I am back in Canada because my study permit was going to expire soon. My quarantine is finished. Am I eligible to work in Canada now? A friend of mine told me that I will have to apply for PGWP from within Canada again. Can you shed some light on this issue, please?

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.
