If the letter you received after applying for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) doesn't mention a specific date you're authorized to work until, group members clarified this is expected and not a cause for concern.
What group members said:- The letter is only a confirmation that your PGWP application was received — it's not the actual permit, so it won't list authorized work dates the way a final PGWP does.
- You are generally authorized to work full-time while your PGWP application is being processed, under maintained/implied status rules, provided you applied before your previous authorization (like your study permit) expired and you meet the other conditions for implied status.
- This work authorization typically starts from the day you submitted your PGWP application, not from when you receive a decision.
Because implied status work authorization depends on your specific situation (having valid status at the time of application, not switching permit types, etc.), confirm your own eligibility for implied status on the IRCC website if anything about your case is non-standard.
