Yes you can I did the same, it worked for me. I called cic to confirm and all they said is I need a valid visa, if I still have my study visa valid why would I cancel it and then re apply for the same TRV. I made 2 trips by using that TRV. Forst time airlines did question me but I just told them to contact cic if they have any concerns and explained my part.Arash_3021 said:
Thanks all for responses,
and I believe having the valid student visa in an old passport shouldn't matter!

Hi, I have the same case as you. I completed my masters in December 2016. My TRV is valid till March 30, 2017. Also I got my PGWP approval message in CIC account. I am travelling back to Canada on Feb 10 , 2017. What should I say to the immigration officer if he asks me any question. Should I tell him that I completed my studies and got my PGWP or something else. Please reply. Thanks
i travelled back to my country with the same situation. At the port of entry they saw my TRV and asked what do i do here. Informed them about the PGWP and they let me in. i called CIC before travelling and they said the same that all u need is a valid TRV.vish22 said:
Yes, you should be fine as you are coming back in Feb. I was scared too but nothing really happened. i have traveled to India and US and both the times they just checked my TRV and let me in. Make sure you carry your study permit and PGWP just in case. good luck!
I have just completed my course and my study permit as well as Visa is valid till 31st August 2018. I have applied for work permit yesterday and planning to visit my parents back in India (for a month) at the end of this month say from june 25 to july 25.
My concern is, I may not get my work permit by june 25. So can i go to India and come back on the basis of my current study permit and visa (which is valid till 31st August).
I am confused. Any suggestions or opinions based on experience would be appreciated
As previously mentioned TRV is all you need. I would carry with you proof that you have applied and paid for you PGWP just in case.
