visa stamping from outside Canada, after getting PGWP from inside Canada

[MRaj95]

Hi,

I received my Open Work Permit (PGWP) after finishing my studies in Canada. But after getting PGWP, I moved to Europe for work, hence didn't get time to send my passport to CIC Ottawa for visa stamping. So, now I have a valid work permit, but my temporary residence visa (TRV) has already expired (as it was valid until study permit duration).
Any idea which application to submit to get the TRV stamped on my passport from outside Canada? I looked for Visitor Visa for Workers, and it asks for the same documents and same fee that were required to get PGWP. But I already have PGWP, and I only need to get Visa stamped.

There is no TRV app specific to workers. You just apply for a normal TRV and provide a copy of your PGWP.

Was your trv approved and did your passport got stamped? What documents did you submit with your application?
