Just received the new study permit, and this new study permit will soon expired (around 3-4 months later).

I do not want to extend my study visa, because if I extend it , it will also expired 3 or 4 months later(as far as I know, will expire on the same date as the study permit)

I will soon graduate(within 1-2 months), and then may apply for the PGWP, after receiving the PGWP, I may apply for the visa (then, it may be the 'working visa'? rather than study visa)

Im worried that if this way is eligible or not? -- apply for a PGWP with a valid study permit, but without a valid study visa(on the passport)??



(The study permit and the study visa are NOT the same thing. Study visa is the one printed on the passport)

Thanks!

You don't need a valid TRV to apply for PGWP, only a valid SP. You will be fine with your intended plan.
