PGWP- If we travel out of Canada during the scheduled breaks of the course, does it affect the duration of the PGWP?

# data[].attributes.body
Answer: No, but before you travel please check the IRCC rules on travel. Make sure you meet the eligibility criteria to enter Canada and all the documents are valid when you enter Canada. The final decision is up to the Border Service officer on your entry to Canada and also the PGWP. My advice, before you leave Canada or book your flight tickets, please connect with the RISIA and share your travel dates and plan to get more information on your future permits and entry to Canada.

Minor children who want to study in Canada must apply for a study permit before they enter Canada. This includes minor children who come with parents who already have a valid study or work permit. If they’re coming to Canada with parents who have a valid study or work permit, they don’t need to provide a letter of acceptance from a school when they apply for a study permit.
