Given that:
- I graduated in May from a university in Canada and I applied for my Post Graduate Work Permit by flag-poling
- I left Canada in June with a VALID Work Permit and an EXPIRED TRV
- I have Chinese citizenship and I am currently in China

I know that I must have a valid TRV to re-enter Canada, but I don't know how can I apply for one outside Canada. Can I apply online at the CIC website? Or do I have to visit a CIC Office in China?

I'm in the same situation applying from a different country.

Wonder if anyone have had previous result applying for TRV with valid WP outside of Canada. You can't really prove strong ties with home country outside of maybe your parents are living there. I meant how many people own properties/assets overseas as a student who just graduated. And jobs? You have no jobs outside in Canada because you intend to complete your PGWP.

This separate TRV/ WP is so annoying and stupid. Like they should have granted you the same TRV with that WP. It's almost like you are not allowed to visit your home countries during your WP without jumping through hoops for IRCC.

I'm in a similar situation trying to apply for TRV with a valid PGWP (PostGraduate Work Permit) outside of Canada. How do you solve this issue?
Which application form should I apply for?
I appreciate any feedback for solving it.

You apply as normal. You don't need to the TRV to "say worker status".
