Is it possible to travel outside canada when PGWP is in Process?

[rahman2]

Hi,
Can i travel my home country when PGWP is in process providing that i will be back with my valid study permit and TRV.

Visa status: Multiple entry, S-1 student category
visa expiry date: 31 March 2016
Study permit expiry: 31 March 2016

I am planning to apply on January first week 2016 and wants to return on March 10(As both of my study permit and TRV is valid on that day).

Is there any possibility VO could ask for additional documents/information when pgwp in process?

Any source from cic will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks,

just to clarify once u get ur final grader or letter of completion of course/degree/diploma u no longer are a student. now there is a gray area between once u graduate does ur study permit get invalid right away or 90 day period start. so now considering that I would say it may be possible to travel outside of canada before u get PGWP but I personally feel its risky. I dont think its recommended to leave canada after u have applied for PGWP. again I may be wrong but why take the risk unless its emergency.

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I have emergency that's why i am planning to go.

I did not get enough source that i can go after my graduation and come back after one month then apply for PGWP.
Is it possible?
Do you have any source on that?

Here is my condition

Planning to go home: December 20, 2015(my semester will end this time)
will get letter of graduation completion: first week of January 2016
Visa status: Multiple entry, S-1 student category
visa expiry date: 31 March 2016

Study permit expiry: 31 March 2016 (which said this does not authorize re-entry. as far as i know this sentence does not matter for my re-entry but visa single or multiple matters. correct me if i am wrong)

I have wok permit which i got for my co-op
work permit expiry: 31 March 2016

So here is my question:
1. Can i go home on December 20,2015 and come back to Canada on February 10,2016 without any problem and i will apply for post grad work permit after coming back(note: i will get my degree completion letter on the first week of january 2016) so according to cic i have to apply for pgwp within 90 days of my grad completion so in that case i am okay
BUT
my main concern is, will they ask me why i am coming back as i have completed my graduation?

2. Another option is,
i can apply for my pgwp in the first week of january and go home when it's in process but many people are saying(in forum) it's not a good idea.

3. PGWP processing now takes more than Three months so it will be little bit difficult for me to go home after three months.
Someone is waiting for me and i have to find a way to go home as soon as possible after my graduation
Thanks

Thank You.
Hmm it's becoming a tough decision for me
I don't want to take risk too so too much confusion to handle.

PGWP details regarding visa rejection

Hello,

I want to apply for PGWP and in the application form I am required to give details regarding visa denial from any countries including Canada, in the past. My US visitor visa was refused in January, 2015 with note that I can re-apply for the same after some time. Do I need to mention it in my PGWP application? if yes then how can I mention it without creating negative impact?

Thanks in advance.

As far as i know they share information with each other so it always good to be honest.
As they said you can apply again and they did not show you a major reason for rejection i guess it's okay to admit.
