They may remain in Canada as long as they maintain their temporary resident status, or they may leave Canada and vait for a decision on their PGWP application. Applicants must meet the eligibility criteria for the category and apply within the 180-day period. Note: An applicant may electronically submit an application under section R197 (outside Canada) while they physically remain in [requester] must maintain their status as a visitor until they receive the actual work permit. However, they are not eligible to work, in accordance with paragraph R186(v1, while vaiting for a decision on their PGWP application. In addition, after receiving provisional approval, they will have to leave and re-enter Canada to be examined and issued any provisionally approved work permit."
