My student visa also expires on the same date my study permit expires on.

Pretty much I won't be able to apply for an extension of my current TRV since I graduated so I guess I should apply for a visitor visa.

Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it :)
My expiry date of both student permit and visa is same as yours, 31/7. I am now back to my home country after I have submitted the PGWP application in Canada. I am also wondering if I could apply for a visitor TRV to reenter Canada while waiting for PGWP to be approved. Or I need to wait till the permit is approved then apply for TRV , only then I can reenter Canada.

As I am traveling too I have make sure I receive my work permit. For trv I have to extend my time. As your case you should wait until you don't have everything with you.trv and work permit.

So do you plan to apply for a TRV (visitor) in your home country to reenter Canada on 27 Aug in the event that the PGWP is yet to be approved by then?

Wait, my take on work permit = TRV so the only reason I would have to apply for the visitor visa is under the situation where I haven't received my work permit by the time I come back to Canada (27 Aug).

I even checked the processing time of the visitor visa and it's said to take about 15 days if you're from Korea.

I even emailed the border agent & cic to make sure about this matter. Haven't heard anything back yet.

your work permit does not equal TRV. TRV means a stamp on your passport. A permit alone is not a document that allows you re-entry to Canada unless you are just visiting the United States or Saint Pierre.

You know the procedure to apply for TRV once you get your physical work permit?

So I have to apply for a visitor visa when re-entering Canada?

im just giving my friend example. he applied with just letter from college and got his approval. but can also ask for transcripts if they want to know if you were full time during your study period.
Thank you for your reply hkang. I send my transcript via web form 2 weeks after my application. I didn't receive any confirmation email yet.It is good to know your friends get it without any trouble
