【你问我答】递交PGWP前可以工作吗？

误区一：因为学签持有者，无需申请work permit即可校外打工，所以毕业后，递交PGWP前，也可以合法工作。

我们来看一下移民局官网是怎么说的。

Students may work off campus on a part-time basis if the following applies:

• they meet the eligibility criteria to work off campus

• they have completed their program of study but have not yet received written confirmation of program completion from their institution

• they have not applied for a work permit

They may work until the first date they receive written confirmation of program completion, provided their study permit remains valid during this period.

也就是说，申请人只有在还未毕业（未收到学校毕业证明），并且学签有效的情况下，才可以继续part-time工作。

什么是毕业证明呢？移民局给出的例子包括：

• email

• letter

• transcript

• diploma

所以一旦申请人收到学校任何形式的毕业通知，就无法继续合法工作了，直至申请人递交毕业工签申请（在学签有效期内），才能重新开始工作。

误区二：我的co-op工签还在有效期内，所以毕业后，我还可以继续工作。

我们还是先来看一下，移民局官网的解释。

Exemption code C32 (co-op for post-secondary international students) is intended for foreign nationals who intend to perform work that is an essential part of a post-secondary academic program offered by a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada.

这里我们可以非常清楚的看到，co-op工签仅仅是基于co-op工作而存在的，并且这个co-op工作，必须是申请人所学program的一部分。

大家收到的co-op工签上通常会有一条condition，说的是：

NOT AUTHORIZED TO WORK FOR ANY EMPLOYER OTHER THAN STATED

也有部分co-op工签没有这一条标注，但原因仅仅是因为避免co-op雇主的误解，从而影响申请人的co-op工作。

移民局在有关这一点的解释上，也可侧面反映，co-op工签下，申请人只能给co-op雇主打工。

Do not select condition 21 “not authorized to work for any employer other than stated”. Applicants whose work permit includes condition 21 are able to work for co-op participating employers.

申请人在完成了作为课程一部分的co-op工作后，无论是想要留在同一个公司继续工作，还是找到了新的雇主，都需要尽快递交毕业工签申请，才可以继续合法工作。
