Hello Community,

I am in a bit of a situation and would really appreciate any help I could find from all you esteemed members on this forum

I have applied for my 3-year PGWP online however it seems to be taking forever, but now my study permit (SP) and current TRV is about to expire. Therefore I have the following 2 questions with regards to this situation:

1) Say my PGWP does not arrive in time and my TRV and SP expire, do I have to leave Canada or wait for a decision to be made on my PGWP?

2) I need to apply to renew my TRV because I will be doing some travelling in the near future. So when should I apply to renew my TRV, should it be done now simultaneously while my pgwp is still processing? or should I wait for a decision to be made on my pgwp first?

Thanks, everyone, I will keep this post updated as things go

1) No. As long as your PGWP is under process you are legally entitled to stay and work in Canada.

2) You need to wait for your PGWP to apply for TRV because mostly your TRV expiry will be based on your PGWP expiry.

Hi !

I have a similar situation and it is driving me crazy.. I would like some answers please!

I studied and worked (co-op) until June 29th and then applied for PGWP on July 8th. I am still waiting the PGWP process, however, my Visa on my passport expires on September 29th.. My question is, can I keep working as I am doing because I am waiting PGWP even after my Visa expiry date?

My study permit has already expired... my Visa on my passport is expiring September 29th and I am afraid of losing status.. Can I still stay in Canada waiting for the PGWP?

I have been called by the government under BCPNP and they are analyzing my documents, just waiting the answer to know whether I will be nominated or not. If I receive the answer of BCPNP before the PGWP's answer, I will apply for Restoration of Status and get a WORK PERMIT SUPPORT LETTER and go to the border to get a WP while I wait the Express entry and PR, am I correct?
