Hello,
I have a question regarding my PGWP. I applied in July and absolutely did not expect it to get approved, as I didn't technically meet all the requirements (took breaks in my study for a few years, and studied part time at points). Assuming I wasn't getting a PGWP, but figuring it didn't hurt to at least try, I applied and returned to my home in the states. My part time job in Canada (under my student visa) had ended anyways, and I didn't want to get a new one when I assumed I would get denied and have to leave in a few months. Surprisingly enough, my PGWP was approved last week! I am returning to Canada on October 20th, which was planned prior to my approval (going for a wedding). Now I will just plan to remain in Canada after the wedding and start work under my PGWP. However, I don't have the physical visa in my possession. It is being mailed to my old apartment, and my old landlord said he would tell the new tenant to hold onto it for me/mail it my way if needed. Regardless, I do not imagine I will have it in my possession before I enter Canada on October 20th. Will I be able to enter the country if I print out the proof that my application was approved? Has anybody had any experience in this situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
