Hey there,

During my education, I was on a Study Permit coupled with a multiple-entry visa (Category SW-1 - Student). I graduated in September 2018, and received a Post-Graduation Work Permit in November 2018.

My SW-1 Multiple Entry visa is valid until the end of 2019 (I graduated earlier than expected). Do I need a new multiple-entry visa to be able to leave and return to Canada, or can I continue to use my SW-1 temporary resident visa with my Open Work Permit? Let me know if any of you have experience with this.

Thanks in advance!

1. No, you don't require a new TRV.

I'm in the same boat as you, did you end up travelling?
