Hi,

I am currently living in Vancouver.My student visa is expiring on 31st December 2012. I have received my work permit and now applying for a multiple entry TRV.

What if I dont receive my TRV extension in time before 31st December 2012 ? Because I will be mailing my passport along with my documents to Ottawa.

Can someone please suggest me what to do in case ?

You're okay for as long as your WP is valid, you can legally stay in Canada but must not exit except to the US or St Pierre et Miguelon.

You have legal status as long as you have a valid VR/WP but once you left Canada, you'd have to apply for a TRV in order to be allowed entry again.
