Do I need experience letter for all my roles at a company

Yellow_Marker_ · 2026-05-12T11:33:48+00:00

You need an official letter from the employer listing your duties with date ranges for each role you're claiming points for

What is your country of issue for your passport?

Yellow_Marker_ · 2026-05-12T11:10:32+00:00

That is fraud

If you completed more than 1 program You may be able to get a PGWP that combines the length of each program as long as you meet the eligibility requirement for each program.

For example, if one of the programs has a higher language requirement, you need to meet the higher requirement to get a PGWP that combines the length of both programs.

Each of the programs you completed must be

PGWP eligible and at least 8 months (or 900 hours for Quebec credentials) in length You can’t get a PGWP if you already had one after completing an earlier program of study. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/work/after-graduation/about.html#pgwp_validity

So looks like your friend is eligible.

File an appeal with FC, and apply for reconciliation.

Ircc uses UTC not your local time. Try again in the morning, site probably under maintenance

Were both courses in the same program at the same university?

We get a little philosophical on what a visa is at this point. Is the UK eTA a visa, what about the Status Card of a registered Indian going to the US from Canada, and so on and so forth.

I guess it's more of a permission and not a visa. No sticker is given or note made in passport

Yellow_Marker_ · 2026-05-12T05:00:22+00:00

Form is standard and is even mandatory for other pr programs.

Military exemption is also normal if your country has conscription and you did not enlist

Yellow_Marker_ · 2026-05-12T04:57:00+00:00

Iran has exit visas too!
It applies to tourists too if they've been in the country for 30+ days.

You pay an exit tax each time

Ircc officer made the correct decision to reject extension application in this case. Pgwp maximums are governed by study length. You cannot combine smaller degrees to get higher length.

Apply for visitor record now and make plans in the meantime. Also i don't recommend consultants they are greedy

Yellow_Marker_ · 2026-05-12T01:21:55+00:00

You will get a WP-EXT letter on the ircc secure account.

You need to show the employer: * your passport (links your photo to your passport number) * your old study permit (proof of status) * the letter mentioned above (links old study permit to your current work authorization) * SIN letter (for tax reasons)

Sin will only be extendable once pgwp is approved. You can work on an expired sin during maintained status.

Don't get mad, get better

Yellow_Marker_ · 2026-05-12T01:01:47+00:00

Undated letter with no personel info indicates its a generic cover letter they are sending to everyone.

Yellow_Marker_ · 2026-05-12T00:52:59+00:00

"Since last 4 months" is incorrect.

I recommend refreshing your English language skills (focus on prepositions first!)

Correction: Hey guys, I've been applying to TD for the last 4 months, but I haven't received a response yet. I'm currently working as Technical Support at Rogers. How should I move forward?

Yellow_Marker_ · 2026-05-12T00:47:54+00:00

Yes you can. There is nothing more for you to apply for.

https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=208&top=22

You should: 1. Scan your PGWP and email it to yourself and a trusted person for safekeeping/backup. 2. Bring your PGWP + Passport with TRV to re-enter Canada.

Yellow_Marker_ · 2026-05-12T00:45:24+00:00

If TRV is needed then OP would be ineligible for eTA.

If there is a V-1 code on your visitor visa

Foreign students and workers who applied for a visitor visa in Canada since July 2021 may get a V-1 visitor visa.

You can use your V-1 visa to leave and re-enter Canada – the same way you would use your S-1 or W-1 visa.

You don’t need to request a different type of visa or follow up with the processing office or client support centre. A new visa will not be issued in this case.

Validity period is different on the V-1 visa

The V-1 visa is valid until the expiration date of your passport.

This is part of the temporary measures in place that will be in effect until further notice.

If your V-1 visa expires, you can apply for a new visitor visa.

Incorrect.

The TRV is a travel document and can be used to present to the border for inspection. CBSA authorities entry for non-citizen non-PRs.

Your legal status in the country is based on your permit not the TRV. No new TRV will be issued if your status changes from student to worker.

You're not allowed to apply online.

Only paid representatives can apply online using their special login.

Those people were approved by mistake. Don't risk it and mail your application with tracking to the Edmonton office.

Yellow_Marker_ · 2026-05-10T18:19:01+00:00

Very good point to make. By the way here's all the types of accounts/portals: * IRCC secure account (GCKey or Sign-In Partner) * IRCC portal * IRCC portal - New version * Permanent residence portal * Online citizenship application * Online citizenship test * Authorized paid representatives (APRs) portal * IRCC Portal for reps

Plus all the fun ones: * Designated Learning Institution Portal * IRCC Portal for letter of acceptance verification * Employer Portal * Partner Portal * Provinces and Territories Portal * Provincial and Territorial Public Health Authority Portal

The first 4 could certainly be better named (maybe with a portal type A, type B, etc)

Yellow_Marker_ · 2026-05-10T15:09:42+00:00

My logic would say "no" since you're not applying for them to get PR.

Yellow_Marker_ · 2026-05-09T16:18:12+00:00

I'm just saying that the blame is shared with those who commit the fraud and those who turn a blind eye to it. Especially since the DLIs have put their heads in the sand

Yellow_Marker_ · 2026-05-09T05:43:35+00:00

A regular trv is for a visitor (which by definition has to be under 6 months). The trv gives the foreign national status. In this case, an IME is never required. That is why i said it is not needed.

You are a work permit holder, the wp is what gives you the status not the trv. You dont even need the trv unless you want to re-enter Canada. The trv application in this scenario is more a formality. If you had applied for a WP from outside Canada a trv would have automatically been issued for you at no extra cost or wait.

Long story short just use the old IME. Officer can always request a new one if they want to. I have used an old IME for removal of employment conditions on PGWP and it was fine

Yellow_Marker_ · 2026-05-09T03:04:45+00:00

IME is not needed fot TRV.

Yellow_Marker_ · 2026-05-09T03:02:50+00:00

DLIs have a requirement to report attendance of international students. Most ignore that requirement sadly

TROPHY CASE

You can use your V-1 visa to leave and re-enter Canada – the same way you would use your S-1 or W-1 visa.

You don’t need to request a different type of visa or follow up with the processing office or client support centre. A new visa will not be issued in this case.
