Hi buddy I am an international student currently studying in Canada. During my program’s long break, I received a full-time skilled job offer from a Canadian company. After thoroughly assessing my documents and experience, the company determined that I am a good match for the position, and I accepted the offer. I have since applied for a full time work permit, but I have not yet received a decision from IRCC. My question is: am I permitted to work full time during my study period while I await a response from IRCC, or do I need to wait for the work permit approval before commencing full time work during school sessions? Thank you for your guidance on this matter.

Such an amazing and helpful channel, I am currently under PGWP it expires in Sep 2024, I already have the Manitoba Nominee Certificate, and a letter of support from the province (to clarify my employer didn't submit any job offer through the employer portal to get the letter of support from the province), so to extend my stay in Canada with a work permit, I still need that my employer submits that job offer? Just apply for a new work permit, with the Manitoba Nomination Certificate and the letter of support from Manitoba? Thanks for your help, keep doing such an amazing job.

Very helpful! I already applied based on your video. I made the application on May 8, but still haven't received any answer. Do you know the average time to get a response?
Thank you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge, this is a huge help! I just have a question, if one is already employed and the job offer does not have an end date because it is permanent, what should be indicated in the expected duration field? Also, how does it work for the Spouse of this applicant to get an open work permit? Can this also be submitted along with the work permit application of the main applicant? I'd appreciate your advice!
