Hello All, Bear with me for a lengthy post and the following question My situation: Valid Study permit till : 30th Sep, 2023 Course ends on : 15th Apr, 2023 I have taken up a full time position ( legally on SIN ) after the effective change on student working hours from Nov 15th, 2022 and have all intentions to continue as a full time employee with the same employer after my course ends as well. From what I heard and read, one cannot work ( legally on SIN ) after the course ends and before one applies for PGWP. So technically there is this gap where one cannot work on a SP and my college will take at least 2 weeks for providing transcripts/conformation letter for me to apply for PGWP. Hence, I cannot apply on the last day of the course or immediately thereafter. So my question is what can be done in the above case to continue employment legally so as to not have any problems for PGWP appr
