did you happen to have any co-ops, part time studies or anything?
Not really. I did spend time outside the country during COVID, and I had to provide full time enrollment certificates for each semester because my program was research based so some semesters looked like I only took 1 course.

I want to know something urgently:
I have a gc key, I applied for PGWP, in September from inside Canada, I plan to travel to my home country in March 2022, I have a implied status work authorization letter which allows me to work starting with W306... Can I apply TRV with this letter, or do I have to wait for my work permit to come. I am worried as the TRV processing time is too much (150days). Please help
I think you should first wait for your pgwp, then apply for TRV. However, check with client center.

Hi everyone,
I have applied for my PGWP and am currently on implied status till Jan 2022. Can I travel to the USA and come back? Will they let me enter if I show the implied status letter?
Note: My TRV is expired too.

It looks like they have started processing applications submitted in early August. Submitted in September, so my general assumption is mine will be looked at mid-December
