Question / Post-Graduation Work Permit + SX-1 Visa

[amp89]

Good evening everyone,

I recently got my Post-Graduation Work Permit and I hold a valid SX-1 visa for multiple entries. I was wondering if I can use my SX-1 visa if I want to leave and return to Canada in the near future or if, as an open work permit holder, I need to apply for a different type of TRV. I am currently in Canada. As far as I am concerned, an SX-1 visa is a visitor visa with added permission to complete a short-term educational course within 6 months of arriving in Canada.

According to the information provided on the IRCC website, it seems that I do not need to apply for a new TRV, but I am not one hundred percent sure:

You can apply for a visitor visa from inside Canada if you meet all the conditions below:

• you’re already in Canada (yes)
• you hold a valid study or work permit (yes - I hold a valid Post-Graduation Work Permit)
• you want to leave and return to Canada in the near future (yes)
• your existing visitor visa is expired or was valid for only one entry (no - I hold a valid SX-1 visa for multiple entries).

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi. I hope you read this. I have the same situation. Did you gave to apply for a different visa or your SX-1 was enough? Thanks
