🚨 Attention International Students! 🚨
If you plan to apply for a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) in Canada, don't let common pitfalls jeopardize your future! Here are crucial points you need to remember:

1. Transcript Requirement 📄:
o Your PGWP application MUST include a transcript from your educational institution. Missing this document can lead to a rejection. 📚
2. Work Restrictions ⛔:
o 20-Hour Rule: You are allowed to work off-campus for up to 20 hours per week during regular academic sessions. Exceeding this limit is considered unauthorized work and can affect your PGWP application. 🕒
o Before Program Start: Do NOT work before your study program begins. This is unauthorized and could lead to serious consequences. 🚫
o Enrollment Status: You must be enrolled in your program of study to work off-campus. Working while not enrolled or during unauthorized periods is not allowed. 🎓

As an immigration lawyer, I'm here to guide you through this important process. Feel free to check the upcoming postings for international students and families! ✨

🌟 Attention International Students! Don’t waste your PGWP! 🌟
Check last posting regarding why PGWP is precious. Find the summary of criteria of PGWP:
ELIGIBLE IF:
✅ Graduated from an eligible program at a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada.
✅ Program duration of at least 8 months, leading to a degree, diploma, or certificate.
✅ Maintained full-time student status throughout the program (with some exceptions).
✅ Applied within 180 days of receiving confirmation of program completion.
✅ Had a valid study permit when program completion was confirmed.
NOT ELIGIBLE IF:
❌ Already received a PGWP.
❌ Studied English or French as a second language (ESL/FSL) programs.
❌ Took general interest or self-improvement courses.
❌ Participated in certain government-funded scholarship programs.
With more stringent immigration policies in Canada, it's crucial to strategically plan your studies if you're aiming for permanent residency.

Be careful and ensure you are qualified if you want to use the PGWP to boost your PR application! Negligence or honest mistake can be hardly fixed, even if you can, it may be very expensive!

📢 **Father's Day Special Offer: Estate Planning for Families!** 📢

🔍 **Did you know?** In Ontario, if someone dies without a will and (s)he has minor children, who will take care of the kids? If both parents pass away together, who will be the custodian and legal guardian of their minor children?

You can name trustworthy family members to take care of your children by creating a will. But remember, the will must be properly drafted and comply with legal requirements; otherwise, it may cause lawsuit—family members may fight against each other and even never talk again.
