Extended family with work permit visa

[fatfatsheep]

Hi all, could someone please help me with the question below?

My friend is holding a post graduate work permit and he applied the TRV with the work permit. He is currently outside Canada and without a job offer. If he wants to travel back to Canada, can he apply for the extended family authorization (as he his girlfriend is a PR and they have dated over a year) and comes back without the job offer? The problem is, for extended family authorization, we are always talking about visitor visa. But he is holding a work permit and a working visa. In this case is the job offer mandatory? Not sure it the visa type matters of entering into Canada.
Thanks!

He doesn't need to the authorization letter since he has a PGWP.

All he needs is a valid TRV to return to Canada.

Thanks for the reply! With the PGWP I think he also needs a valid job offer to return to Canada. But he does not have a job offer.

Is job offer not mandatory to re-enter Canada now with a post graduate work permit? As long as we can prove that we normally live in Canada? But what do we need to prove this?
