Hi everyone,
I graduated from my MBA about 10 days ago (and applied for work permit the same day) and just received my PGWP applied status / maintained status letter from IRCC.
Walmart emailed me asking for either a valid study permit or an open work permit after I got an offer for an OMNI Fulfilment Associate Position. I have my current study permit (which isn't valid anymore considering I graduated) and the applied status letter (makes me eligible for work), but I have not received the physical PGWP yet. Considering the current guidelines, I should be receiving a PGWP valid for 3 years.
The applied status letter says I can work until October 12, 2026, or until a decision is made, whichever comes first. This is longer than the 90 day expiry limit Walmart mentioned for the work permit anyway.
Is what I have usually okay for Walmart/Workday, or could this affect whether I get the job?
