biometric is done got extension for 4 days till june 22 2021
but still waiting for approval for 18months and i need to travel to India for emergency .
Can i travel ? i do have TRV till June
Yes you can travel, I came back 7 days before my permit expired in January. I showed proof of a job with my payslip and my lease.

Plus they will see that you applied for an extension which makes it better.

Y'all amazing thanks for all the info CripplingYogi!!

yes, I'm in Canada. I'll apply for TRV after first obtaining the work permit extension then.

Thanks for the important reminder. Damn.. so even if I get TRV+ work permit I wont be able to come back if I step out of the country... that feels somewhat unfair since they allow citizens to move around in and out.

Thanks for all the info guys !! Applied Mar 11, approved Mar 18.

It shouldn't be a problem if you're working in a NOC 0,A or B and attach a letter of employment along with past few pay slips and marriage certificate in her application

Did anyone apply for PGWP extension under new public policy who has been nominated by a Province.

I have employer restricted PNP nomination, i am not sure if i can apply for PGWP extension under this policy because it asks in the application form “Have you been issued a certificate under the Provincial Nominee Program?”

Does anyone know?

My post graduate work permit expired in December and now am on implied Visitor record status. I don't have a job offer right now. Can I apply for the open work permit under this public policy or do I need a job offer?

I am not sure if you are eligible to apply because you have BOWP (please double-check with someone). And yes, the form is the same. The only difference is that you need to attach a letter that says you’re applying for an open work permit under the Public Policy Facilitating the Issuance of an Open Work Permit to Former or Current Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) Holders.
