PGWP at Canadian border with expired TRV

[bijoykothari]

Hi All,

I am an International student with the TRV ans study permit valid till 31st Dec 2015, I have applied to extend my study permit (not the TRV) even though I finish my study by Dec 2015 (coz I don't know if I'll get my grades in time or not). But after i get my study permit extension and get my grades, can I go to the Canadian border (I have a valid US visitor visa) with an expired TRV and a valid study permit to get my PGWP? and what other documents do I require ? (I am a student, and potential worker in Quebec). Thanks

No - you can't.

Why not, is there any particular reason? . I read that one can enter Canada with just a study permit and expired TRV. And in a seperate article that one can get a PGWP at the US Canada border. I just wanted to make sure whether I am allowed to do both together.

You would either need to hold a visa exempt passport or have a valid multiple entry visa. Since you have neither - you can't do it.
