Options to get a TRV before applying for PGWP

[Elbert05]

Hey everyone,

I am set to finish my studies May 2025, with my study permit and TRV expiring mid-June 2025. I am planning to apply for PGWP in May 2025.
However, I would like to apply for a new TRV since I might need to travel around October 2025 for a business trip outside and back to Canada by my Canadian employer.
I know that if I apply for PGWP, I have to wait until my PGWP is approved to get a TRV for work purpose.

1. What are my options to apply for TRV if I apply ASAP, without complicating my PGWP application.
2. I think I can apply for Visitor Visa (inside Canada), but would this impact my study permit status and/or future PGWP application? Can I still apply PGWP if my Visitor Visa is approved?
3. If this is my option, which form/link do I need to apply through IRCC online?
4. Can I still apply PGWP if my Visitor Visa is still in progress?

Thanks

Just apply for the TRV. There's no impact on the PGWP.

Thanks, so I went through the questionnaire in IRCC and in my personalized document checklist, it includes:
1. (IMM 5708) Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Visitor or Temporary Resident Permit Holder
2. (IMM 5257 SCH1) Schedule 1: Application for a Temporary Resident Visa

I want to make sure I answered this right:
What would you like to do in Canada? Visit
How long are you planning to stay in Canada? Temporarily - more than 6 months (since I will be PGWP implied status later)
