Hello,

When you hold a Post Graduate Work Permit and a valid Temporary Resident Visa. Are you allowed to travel outside Canada without restrictions?

For example, if I need to travel outside Canada for 3 months or longer, is that OK? Any restrictions regarding travelling apply?


THANKS!

You can move freely provided you have valid PGWP and TRV.

Thank you very much for replying!.. I was wondering about this particular case, because I read this on the forum:
w w w.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/can-i-travel-outside-canada-while-post-graduate-work-permit-on-process-t52636.0.html

The last post by "imcrazyjap"' says that Post Graduate Work permit holders cannot stay outside Canada for more than 1 month. (?)

NO, there is no such restrictions.

If you leave Canada and want to return, you must have:
a valid passport or travel documents
a valid SP/ PGWP etc. and
a valid temporary resident visa if you are a citizen of a designated country for which Canada requires a visa.

Re: Post Graduate Work Permit and Sponsoring Spouse

Hi,

1. I am on Post Grad Work Permit and Temporary Resident Status Maintained. Can I travel outside Canada and come in even when my Student Visa on passport is expired. The visa on Passport does not really matter now right as I have Post Grad Work Permit?
2. Has anyone sponsored their wife while on Post Graduation Work Permit. What is the process and how much time it took?
