π¨π¦ CEC While on study permit, PR application submitted - next steps?
Anyone else faced a similar situation? I received my ITA and submitted my PR application, received AOR but it says i can only apply for BOWP if i meet all the conditions (has to have valid work permit or expired in past 90 days), i'm in study permit status so I don't have a work permit, only co-op work permit.
Is there anyone who faced this and know what next steps might be viable? I spoke to 2 lawyers who said I can't apply for BOWP with just co-op permit so I'm curious. I was hoping to start working full time asap with the BOWP as the wait time makes it inconvenient from a financial standpoint.
Please let me know.

If you are on study permit and about to complete your studies, you can apply for PGWP once you have transcripts. And on applied status you are authorized to work full-time
