We need to wait for the PGWP that will be mailed to us. It's one of the requirements we need to upload. Just be sure that we will be using the Application for Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside of Canada. https://students.ubc.ca/international-student-guide/immigration/temporary-resident-visa-trv/apply-temporary-resident-visa-trv-within-canada-tutorial-overviewHi everyone, congratulations to those of you who have gotten their approvals! I want to be prepared for when mine gets approved (applied May 16th) so I wanted to ask what is the next step once you get the PGWP approved? Can we immediately apply for the TRV online or do we have to wait for the work permit to arrive in the mail to complete the TRV application? Thank you!

I believe that most European countries only need eTA. I came from Philippines and most of the countries in our part of the world need TRV. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp
Yes I just checked other EU countries our neighbors and they also need eTA. Thank you for extra info!
TRV's according to current timeline , might take anywhere between 2-35 days.
Some applications might need BG checks.
Depends on your nationality.
Hi thank you for your reply. I checked the link you pasted but I could not find an answer to the following question- If I am in Canada do I still select the Application for Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside of Canada?
Hi sir..I have plan to apply for Study Permit.. so that's possible that we only get TRV for spouse and child then let them accompany during landing then get the OWP of spouse at POE? was it easy to get TRV for both of them? And does this applies to all POE airports of Canada like Toronto?
Yes. I have already applied using both inside or outside. I needed to reapply for TRV when my passport expired. When I applied "inside", I filled up imm5708. It was a wrong form. So I only wasted money on that. Then I called CIC they said that even if I'm inside Canada, I should still use the "outside". If you want I can pm you and show you both approvals of using inside and outside.
Did you receive any email regarding your approval or you just opened your account and it was approved
It was a breeze when I got both their TRVs and OWP for my wife. I needed to do that because of time constraint. My SP was approved June 30. We will be flying to Canada Aug 3. Spousal OWP's processing time then was 10 weeks. Under the International Mobility Program, a foreign national may apply for an open work permit outside Canada, at a port of entry or after arrival to Canada, as per program
requirements. We just needed to do upfront medical exams for both of them because immigration will definitely ask for that.
My notifications are "on" so I received email Aug 15 stating that there was an "update". When I checked, I saw they reviewed my eligibility Aug 14. Then saw the approval at the end part. After an hour, I received another email saying that I have a "message". When I checked, I saw my approval letter.
Look for this one in the link:
ONLINE
Application for Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside of Canada [IMM5257E]
Important: Choose this form even if you are applying from within Canada.
---------------------------------------
IMM5257E will only be generated when you click your home country. IMM5708 will be generated when Canada is chosen. Trust me I already did both and I only wasted money on the "inside" of Canada.
If applying for a TRV, IMM5257E is the one to choose.
Irrespective of that, when you use the online wizard it’ll show you the correct form.
