Can I apply for TRV after my approval of LMIA based work permit(In canada approval)?

[isahuja]

Hi,

I was working on PGWP and it was expired on 8th Dec 2021. So, my employer supported me by providing LMIA and I applied for a work permit on Nov 16th, 2021 which is now approved. Now, I'm planning to travel to India but my current visa is expired. Can I apply for TRV(stamping) with the approval letter or do I need to wait for the work permit copy?

Thanks & Regards,

You can apply for the TRV at any time. I would do so as soon as possible. Processing times aren't short.
