Bonjour,
Merci d’ avoir contacté la boite aux courriels pour les représentants en immigration.
Veuillez noter que cette boite aux lettres est destinée a fournir des conseils généraux et ne fournit pas de réponses a des
demandes spécifiques a un cas, mais a fourni les informations suivantes comme conseil. Si vous avez des questions
spécifiques a un dossier, nous vous encourageons a soumettre le formulaire formulaire Web d'IRCC - Canada.ca
Veuillez consulter notre réponse a votre question.
Please note that the post-graduation work permit (PGWP) can only be extended in cases where applicants did not receive
their PGWP for the full duration that they are eligible due to their passport validity, In this case, upon the renewal of their
passport, they can apply to receive the full validity of their PGWP.
The interim work authorization letter allows foreign nationals who meet the requirements to continue working until a final
decision is made on their work permit application.
f the PGWP application is refused, applicants must stop their work immediately.
For more information, please see: Work in Canada after you graduate: After you apply - Canada.ca
Thank you kindly,
[requester]

Dear [requester], ;
My question relates to the interim working authorization given to candidates eligible for a PGWP extension.
According to the IRCC website, the interim working authorization allows these candidates to work while gathering their
documents and submitting their applications, with the hope they will restore their status
The interim working authorization was given for a generous period of time.
The facts of the question are:
1. Candidate had their original PGWP valid until November of 2022
2. Submitted their application for the PGWP extension in October of 2022
3. Maintained/Implied status established
4, PGWP extension application was refused on February 28, 2023
5. The interim working authorization from the letter from IRCC was granted until May 31, 2023
Question:
1. Does that interim working authorization still apply to this candidate until May 31, 2023? Or would it expire when the PGWP
extension was refused on February 28, 2023?
Thanks for your time
Yours truly,
00488
