Hi
I was an international student that came to Canada in March 2018 for an 8 months programme and after got my 1-year PGWP expiring in May 2020. My husband and I recently travelled to back home to have our traditional marriage ceremony in the presence of family (We got our Canadian marriage certificate in March 2019 tho). A little side note is that my husband is a Canadian citizen. On our way back I was not allowed to come back as I did not have TRV. I always thought having PGWP would be sufficient for coming back to Canada. and I'm so frustrated at the moment because I'm not what to do? Since we have not submitted our spousal sponsorship application yet my ties for TRV are not enough at the moment. we were planning to submit the sponsorship application as soon we got back to Canada after our ceremony to make our case stronger.
Can someone please advise what to do in this situation?

You just apply for a TRV based on your PGWP.
