Hello there,
I need your help guys.I recently got my MA degree and then I applied for PGWP right away.I am currently waiting for my PGWP but I need to leave the country for some personal matter in like two weeks. First of all, I was wondering if I left the country while I was waiting for my PGWP, would I be able to return to Canada (My current visa is valid till the end of 2019).
Second of all, I have a new passport, so basically I got a new passport as my previous one was only valid for another two years and the PGWP that I am supposed to receive is gonna be valid for three years, so I decided to get a new passport in advance and my visa is attached in my previous passport and its not holed punch meaning that it is still valid.
So all in all I would love to know if would be able to leave Canada and return to Canada or not.
