I have my valid PGWP but I'm outside Canada at the moment - want to return but student visa expiring soon - HELP

[ank22]

Hey guys, i was an international student and graduated in December 2018,
Got my post graduate work permit and is valid till 2022.
After getting my pgwp i went back to my country and im here since more than 6 months but i plan on coming back to Canada in October 2020 but My student visa is valid till August 2020.
so my question is, what visa do i need to apply now if i will come in october? can i apply from my country or do i need to come back to Canada before my student visa expires and then apply for new visa? please help me.

You have a PGWP so the study permit is no longer relevant with an open work permit. All you need to travel back as well as your PGWP/Passport is a valid TRV or if visa exempt a valid ETA

but my TRV is getting expired in August, to enter Canada again do i need to apply for visitor visa from my country ?

Is that not what I said ?

You need a valid TRV to travel back so you apply for one on basis you have a valid PGWP, as yiou are outside Canada you apply from outside same as if you were in canada you apply from inside.. It is not just about entering Canada with a valid TRV you cannot board a plane without one. A PGWP is not a travel document it just gives you a reason to be in Canada

Apply in next few months rather than leave until last minute.

so theres no chance of getting denied for visitor visa (trv) right?

No you shouldn’t be denied. Would apply a few months before returning to Canada.
