I have kind of a similar question. my work permit and study permit both expired last week. I applied for post-graduation work permit, 2 months ago. I am travelling next week, so can I apply TRV from home country without the approval of the PGWP??? Because who knows how long its still gonna take to approve, it says 99 days on website for procession time. Do I need any kind of permit to apply for TRV from country???
