Is your pgwp from the date you applied (Jan) or is it from June (when you received it)? So Jan 2022 to 2025 or June 2022 to June 2025?
May I ask, what do you mean by raised a web form?I raised on yesterday although I think it might not be useful. However, I just don't want them to think that I gave up and am no longer interested in getting the permit.
People who have applied for visitor visa on paper after getting PGWP.
did you submit your passport at the time of sending the documents? Or are you going to submit later when they ask for it?
The checklist says you dont need to send the passport now. But i think we have to. Please help

How come youre applying for a visitors visa after PGWP? Is there such a thing? I just applied for my PGWP early June.
So for people who apply for PGWP or Study permit from inside canada. Need to apply for visitor visa after they get their permit. Thats to leave and return to canada in the future. So if you have a permit, you can stay and work/study in canada. But if you are from a TRV required country and you go back to it for a break and want to come back, you need a TRV. And thats what im talking about
hope this clears it outOhhhh!!! Yes definitely cleared. I am from a TRV country but have no plans to leave the country just yet as I want to gain my canadian experience as much as I can, is it ok if I dont apply for a visitors visa?So for people who apply for PGWP or Study permit from inside canada.

Its okay if you dont. But i would reccomend it. As you never know what happens and you want to go back for a bit. Its always good to have that safety net knowing you can go back and come back without any problems.
PGWP is always issued from the date it was approved. I applied on January 15, was approved on June 24. PGWP Valid from June 24, 2022 until June 24, 2025
A visa is for entry. And study permit is a legit doc for your stay in Canada. So let say you dont wanna leave Canada. A visitor visa is unnecessary.
