Hi, I have an Student visa with multiple entries valid until 07/2021. I applied for my PGWP and it was approved. I'd like to travel outside Canada. Will I be able to re-enter with the SW-1 visa that I hold? Or do I need to renew my visa prior to traveling?

thank you for your help!

Call IRCC client services center and confirm with them. But keep in mind that even with a valid visa, they may not let you back in until the coronavirus situation is resolved, unless you have a job offer or an actual job waiting for you (with supporting documentation to show at the entry point).

Does anybody know if the 180 limit for applying after you get your grad letter is still applied when you're re-applying for your PGWP?
