Re-entry with Post-Graduate Work Permit

[elodieli]

Hello everyone,

I left Canada before getting my Post-Graduate Work Permit this year and my brother just mailed it to me. It is valid and I still have a valid Student Visa.
Will I be able to re-enter Canada with a valid PGWP and a valid Student Visa or do I have to apply for a Temporary Resident Visa?

I'd be grateful if someone could give me the right answer! Thanks.

An answer to this question would be very interesting to me too, does anybody knows?

Also, does anybody has information on how long a work permit or pgwp was issued to be valid for once you get it after acceptance? (I mean the validation date until when you need to arrive in canada, and not for how long it is valid)
Thanks!!

If you are from a visa exempt country, you only need your passport and PGWP.
Technically, your SP is no longer valid (even if it's not expired) once you receive your PGWP, you cannot have at the same time a valid work and study permit.

If not from a visa-exempt country, then you need a TRV along with your PGWP to enter Canada.
