Temperary Resident Visa For Work Permit Holder

[Janmeet Singh]

Hello,

I am a Post Graduation Work Permit Holder (recent). And a citizen of India. Currently in CANADA.

Currently, I have a Student Visa on my passport valid till next year, multiple). I have some questions::-

• I am going back to India for some time, do i need work visa or can i travel on student visa (just for this visit)
• If I need work visa can I apply from India as well during my stay?

PS :- Also any idea on typical processing time of the work visa?

you must have the same type of visa and permit. Not sure about Canada but Indian Authorities will not let you come to Canada with such documents.

Processing time is 8 days (Online) within Canada (Add 2 weeks for stamping of visa on passport)
For India it is 33 days on cic website.

No, you don't need a new TRV. It is perfectly fine to travel on your current TRV and PGWP.

Incorrect. A TRV is a TRV; all that is required is that it is still valid.

I do not have such time left so that I can apply for work visa.
Can, can I do so from India? I mean it is the Canadian embassy.

I think Janmeet Singh know what am I talking about. They can create a fuss out of nothing...
