Hi Max, I applied for my PGWP yesterday, but I accidentally uploaded the Parchment document instead of my Completion letter. What should I do now? Thank you!
@vinodm.u79116 күн бұрын
Can you help me : After my first course was completed on April 21, 2024, my initial plan was to take up another program for the September 2023 intake. During my scheduled break, I intended to work full-time and then convert to part-time hours (20 hours per week) as agreed upon by my employer. With this understanding, I secured my letter of acceptance from Conestoga College for the second program, paid the first semester fees, received the completion letter for my first program and the official transcripts, applied for my study permit extension, and, in the meantime, worked full-time from May 27, 2024, until my next program started on September 3, 2024, after which I planned to switch to part-time work, 20 hours per week. However, due to some personal reasons, I have decided not to pursue another program at Conestoga College and have finally decided to apply for a PGWP so that I can work full-time and return to my home country after my work permit expires. If I apply for PGWP, do you see any problems of study permit violations? this is my plan stop work on a specified date, then withdraw my study permit etension application & program & then appply for PGWP. after that continue my work ?

Hi Max, thanks for the video. I couldnt recover my account because of change in device used during my application of a study permit last year. I had to create a new GC key for a new account. Following your steps i mistakenly filled the questions for the pgwp online now when i logged in my new account i was asked to provide personal reference code which was given when i completed the questionnaire online. The fee has increased to $255 because of an open work permit holder fee. What can I do to rectify this? Thank you

Hi Max, This is a great video, thank you for the detailed information! I have a question about my PGWP application. I selected "NO" for the question "Have you ever been refused visa or permit, denied entry to Canada?" However, my first study permit application was rejected, but I reapplied and was subsequently granted the study permit. Will this discrepancy cause any issues with my PGWP application? Is there anything I need to do to rectify this? I'd really appreciate your advice on this matter. Thanks in advance!

Don't you think you are contradicting your statements. On the one hand, you are saying that students must stop working as soon as they recieve completion letter. This is not mentioned on the IRCCwebsite. On the other, you are saying that students can apply for the work permit within 180 days of the completion of study. If it is written on the IRCC website then please post a link with exact information on the IRCC website.

Hi Max, I need some guidance on how to correctly fill out the "EDUCATION" section of the IMM5710e form for students who have completed 1+1 programs. Should we list it as a combination of both programs in IMM5710e form? For example, should the "From Date" be the start date of the first program, and should we mention both fields and levels of study (like Project/Organization Management) and both schools (University College and ABC College) under one entry? I'm asking because there have been instances where students who completed 1+1 programs were denied the 3-year PGWP. Any advice on how to avoid such issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help! It might help others who watches your helpful videos.
