I have a question if anyone can guide me on this..
I have 3 months till my study in Canada ends and my study permit expires on July 31. I have not visited my family in years and got an airline ticket pending. I was thinking that if I were to visit them first and apply for a study permit after coming back, will there be a problem? I also have to do medical for the pgwp.

I would suggest that you get your PGWP first. Nowadays, its only taking few days to get approved for PGWP. I know its hard to stay away from family but you already waited for years, I say just wait a little bit more, get the PGWP and then you are free to travel.

I would wait for the PGWP, as a student you would need to quarantine when you come back here with your university, and I'm not sure how that will work if you graduated.
