The ISSO’s web page on Post-Graduation Work Permits explains PGWP eligibility and authorized work during the transition from student to work permit holder.

The ISSO’s detailed PGWP application guide (found at the same page) will guide you through the process.

See the IRCC website for an answer to the question “I’m waiting for my post-graduation work permit. Can I travel outside of Canada and come back with my student visa?”

Students who have questions not answered by these resources are encouraged to contact the ISSO.
