Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)

[bbasiit]

Hi, I submitted my application for PGWP visa stamping on Feb 16 and on July 28 I got request to submit passport. I submitted my passport and got visa printed but the issue is, the category is printed as Visitor instead of worker. I wonder why? And how do it make corrections. I’m trying to call IRCC but the line busy. Any recommendations?

From another person in similar situation:

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding Temporary Resident Visa.

I am currently working in Canada and I have a valid work permit. I applied for my TRV in March 2021 and got it approved recently. But I have been given a visitor status instead of a worker status. I got in touch with the IRCC, and they say it'll not be a problem for me to travel abroad and re enter Canada as long as I have a valid work permit. They claim this happens sometimes and is not a problem.

Which country? Seems like from outside Canada your local embassy will be processing the apps.

Local embassies will be processing outland PGWP apps.
