I have applied for W-1 (PGWP)and after 4 months my application got approved with V-1 stamp on my passport and I didn’t notice it until today. I have to travel India on emergency but wondering if i can travel back?

1. Can i enter on V-1 back in October with out an issue since i have valid open post graduate work permit?

2. How long does it take if i apply for stamping to be corrected to W-1 again in Canada?

3. Can i apply for stamping correction in India? And how long does it take?

4. If i enter on V-1, Can i continue to work for my employer since i hold valid open work permit?

Everybody has got the same thing. Another group, they posted that they contacted IRCC. As long as you have valid WP/SP. You are good to go!

Can I know when did you apply and when did you receive your PPR?
