Why you took LOA if you already had an official break?
If you don’t take LOA you have to pay the full tuition fee of the summer plus in 2018 the university told students to take leave to be able to work full-time.
Obviously the officer didn’t see his application carefully and rejected him as soon as he saw the LOA on his transcript

Hi
There are numerous things she can do:
1.If she applied already from canada she has to wait for her work permit to be approved and mailed to her canadian address after that she should apply online or in paper for her trv . Once the trv is approved her passport should be sent to toronto to be stamped with trv thatcould take around 2 to 3 weeks.

2. Since she applied from canada and in worst case scenario if work permit is delayed she can travel to india for her brothers wedding. And then when the work permit is approved she should use the " webform" to inform ircc about her address change.also she can apply for her trv from India as well and wait for its approval and sent it to the canadian embassy or agency in India . I have no idea about the processing time from your country which you could check from cic website. And in that case,she will get her work permit while she enters back to canada (airport).

She can also apply for TRV from India based on the PGWP received in Canada. Without the TRV she cannot return back to Canada.
On a personal note , it is not advisable to to leave Canada without the PGWP approval.in Canada .

You are welcome!
Usually they dont mail the pgwp to foreign countries. Its given at the port of entry ie at the airport in your case when she lands in canada with her trv.

If im not wrong. Everyone is asked to upload their transcript at the time of application depending on what you choose for the evidence of graduation ie a letter of confirmation, transcript , parchment etc However , if you havent received your transcript by then and still submitted the application with other than a transcript you will be asked by ircc to upload your official transcript later after you have received it.

I agree! And apparently applying from outside usually takes longer than applying from canada.

Everyone needs to upload both transcripts & letter of completion. Sometimes just letter of completion gets you a pgwp, sometimes people get rejected because they didn't upload transcripts & sometimes they ask you to provide transcripts if it was missing. So in short always upload both to avoid problems.
