Is it true that PGWP applicants who are currently outside Canada are needed to have a job offer first and only then they can fly to Canada?
Job offer for PGWP outside Canada

Right. But I do not normally live in Canada. I pursued my post-graduate certificate there and upon completion I returned to my home country due to COVID-19. I lived there only for 10 months.
According to the link below temporary workers can not land in Canada and search for a job. Which means, one needs to have a job before landing. What I don't understand is if PGWP applicants fall in the category of a temporary workers or students. As the visa category for PGWP is that of a student.

Your visa category is not student but temporary worker. You are no longer a student with a study permit. So if you can’t show you have lived in Canada, you need a job offer to enter.

I haven't. I applied for it on December 12 and till now I have only received submission confirmation letter. What about you? When did you apply?
I have not applied for it yet but I am planning to apply from outside Canada that I need to go back for emergency.
