I have a post graduation work permit (PGWP) that will be expiring in August 2025 and I have a visitor visa that will be expiring in May 2026. I applied and received both the permit and the visa from inside Canada. I need clarity on something and that is, do I need to leave Canada when my work permit expires or can I stay if my visitor visa is still valid?

If you want to stay, then you need to apply for a visitor record before your PGWP expires.

I just looked up what a visitor record and thank you so much that is exactly what I was looking for. I had heard of a visitor record but I had no idea what it's actually for and it's literally the solution to my problem lol. I had asked this question to IRCC using their web form and they just gave the most generic automated reply that didn't even answer my question or mentioned anything about a visitor record so again thank you hope you have an amazing day.

IRCC doesn't give immigration advice and so it makes sense you received a generic response.

Yeah makes sense. But I still feel like even an automated response should be able to steer you into the right direction instead of answering my query with the definition of a TRV and PGWP. Anyways glad this forum and people like you exist :)

The definition of a TRV should have explained that a TRV is just a travel document and does not guarantee entry into Canada or a length of visit.
 
My current status is maintained status (Expired open WP, applied for Closed WP). But I have my TRV valid until 2025 June, which says visitor.
Can I travel outside Canada and return with this visitor TRV inside Canada.
I have emergency travel plans, Did anyone traveled like this before with TRV as Visitor.
Please advise.
