Hello Everyone. I wanted to ask if we can leave and re-enter Canada before the completion letter/transcript is issued and then apply for PGWP on re-entry inside Canada, not at the port of entry. My study permit and visa will be valid at the time of re-entry. But, I just wanted to ask if anyone did that before. What questions does the officer ask at the port of entry?

Sure, you can do that. Just make sure you have a valid TRV.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Yes, I have valid SP till Mar 2023 and TRV till 2025. I am going just for the month of January.
Upon re-entering should I mention that I am a graduate student or just say that I am continuing study as I might not receive a completion letter when I re-enter?
