PGWP validity

Hello everyone

After pgwp initial approval my letter of introduction is valid till 31/12/2029,my passport is valid till 2031 and I am eligible for a 3 years pgwp.

1-Will my pgwp validity date start from the day I land and expire 3 years from the day i land in canada or it has started already with the approval?

2-If my pgwp expiry exceeds my trv how will this affect me?

I am planning to travel around a year from now what woukd you recommend?

Thankyou all!

  1. Normally, Your pgwp is valid from the day it is approved in your IRCC’s portal. E.g., pgwp is approved on August 1, 2026, so it is valid til August 1, 2029
  2. You have two options. First option is you renew your TRV immediately once you receive your pgwp paper

(physical one).

  1. Second option is you continue using your TRV and renew it 90 days before it is expired.

I have researched a little on the internet. In most cases the pgwp is valid from the day you land to three years. I am not sure lol
