Good day,

Thank you for contacting the Immigration Representatives Mailbox.

Please note that this mailbox is intended for general guidance and does not provide responses to case-specific

inquiries but have provided the following information as guidance. Ifyou have case specific questions about a file, you

are encouraged to submit the [CC Web form,

Please see our response to your question.

If the applicant is applying from outside Canada, the applicant would no longer have status in Canada and therefore would

have to wait for their PGWP to be approved and then they would return to Canada to obtain their permit.

For more information, please visit Post-graduation work permit (PGWP) [R205(c} - C43] ~ International Mobility Program -

Canada.ca.

Please note: if you're in Canada when you get your POE letter of introduction, you must leave the country to activate your

study permit. You may not be able to activate your study permit if you re-enter from the U.S. or Saint-Pierre-et-Miguelon

We hope that this information is helpful to you.

Thank you kindly, [requester] De:

Greetings from

1am leading a team of International Immigration Student Advisers at (my license

Could you please advise if the below stated interpretation of R186 (W) still applies with respect to the work authorization

in case of outside of Canada PGWP application

Assuming all eligibility requirements are met, R186(w) applies regardless of where the application was submitted. This

help desk page provides more information on re-entering Canada while a PGWP application is being processed

However, unlike for in-Canada applications, an interim proof of work authorization is not automatically issued. Please oots2s
