Hi,

Have you got your passport back with the visa stamped?

You can send an email to the LA visa office to get a clarification. It seems to be an error in your case

Generally speaking, PVT visa is a Working Holiday Visa (Permis Vacances Travail, in French)


Cheers

There's no such thing as a "private tourist visa" for Canada.

In fact, there's no such thing as a visa type "tourist visa" for Canada.... Canada's visa is called a "Temporary Residence Visa"..... the category is V-1 VISITOR

Here is the explanation of PVT type visa I received from VAC:

"That is the abbreviation used for all those submitting their passports through our office for online visa applications."
