Help! urgent - post graduate work permit holders - which visa?

[jessxgc]

Hi eveyone! So sorry for posting it here, but I figured most of you have been through the PGWP and whatever visa we get along with it.

Here's my situation: I am from a country that needs visa to stay in canada. I completed my Post Graduate course (2 years in Canada) and received my Post Graduate Work Permit last year February. At that time, I was still carrying a student Visa (SW-1) which had multiple entry but that visa expired on 31 of July 2014 (I only realized this now! After going for vacation in brazil for a month and upon getting on my return flight to Canada, had to cancel the flight as I realized that I did not have a valid visa- yes that happened!!).

Everything seems quite confusing. Which VISA exactly do I need under the temporary resident? A regular tourist visa (V-1)?? Because when you fill the questionaire it asks purpose of trip and which option should I choose ? Tourism?

I am currently in Brazil and need to go back to Canada ASAP to get back to work (I am already missing some days and might lose my job! I am desperate here!).

Thank you SO MUCH! Hopefully you guys can help me out here.

Cheers,

Hi ,

When I try to fill in the form for the form for Application for Temporary Visa IMM5257E

there is no option to choose a WORK VISA- its only VISITOR or TRANSIT.

Has anybody done this before and know for sure that thats the right way??? It seems like the only way to me - getting a visitor visa.

Select the Visitor type and move forward.You have to submit ur WP along the application and at the time of processing the VO looks ur status and gives you W-1 visa
