without a TRV visa, you will not be able to return to Canada if you leave the country
Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
Work permit and TRV are two different things. I assumed you asked about TRV because that's what is put on your passport. If you want to extend your TRV, you must apply and pay the fees $100 - After your TRV application is approved (It will be since you've a valid PGWP) you have 30 days to send your passport to Ottawa so the TEV is stamped.
IRCC Website:
A work permit or study permit is not a visa.
We won’t automatically issue you a visitor visa if you extend your work or study permit. If you need a new visitor visa, you may need to submit a separate application.
You can apply for a visitor visa from inside Canada if you meet all the conditions below:
- you’re already in Canada
- you hold a valid study or work permit
- you want to leave and return to Canada in the near future
- your existing visitor visa is expired or was valid for only one entry
Good luck!
How long does it take for them to return the passport? I received my work permit but where should I send my passport now?
You don't just send your passport, you need to APPLY FOR A TRV.

Wait so through online application if it gets stamped then still you apply for TRV? I do not understand.
PGWP is a physical document
TRV is a stamp on the passport. You have to apply online and wait. Once TRV is approved, you can send your passport. Best of luck
according to processing time its more than 150 days. But that seems like a glitch.

Is anyone here who applied PGWP on or before 14th January?
