Hello IRCC team,
Your departmental operational manual suggests that a Coop Work Permit shouldn't be valid
longer than the holder's Study Permit, but | recently noticed that several of our students’ Study
Permits expire 1 month earlier than their Coop Work Permits do.
* Study permit holders
Work permits issued under subparagraphs R205(c}(i.1) and (i.2), with exemption codes €32 and C33, where the work
is essential to the study pragram, should not exceed the vatidity date of the study permit
Conditions and validity period on work permits (temporary workers) - Canada.ca
These students will become eligible fora PGWP after the expiration dates of their Study
Permits but before the expiration dates of their Coop Work Permits (C32) and they would like
to submit their PGWP applications in Canada as soon as they become eligible.
According to R183 (4)(b.1), R209, and R209.01, these students’ Coop Work Permits remain
valid after the expiry of their Study [requester], they meet the requirements of R199 (a)
and can apply for their work permits (PGWPs) in Canada though their Study Permits are
expired

+ (a) the day on which the temporary resident leaves Canada without obtaining prior authorization to re-enter Canada:

work permit or a study permit;

been issued a work permit and a study permit;

‘was issued based on an administrative error
Could you please share your PGWP team’s understanding of these students’ eligibility to
submit a work permit application in Canada under R199 (a)?
Regards.
