List of requirements for departure for individuals with a Post Study Work Permit in Canada

Requested from BI by S. Ganzon at 09:33 PM on Aug 31, 2023.
Purpose: Personal
Date of Coverage: 08/31/2023 - 08/31/2023
Tracking no: #BI-216449694932

Ganzon 09:33 PM, Aug 31, 2023 

I recently graduated from my doctoral program in Canada. I have a post study work permit and a multiple entry temporary resident visa. I only came back here in the Philippines temporarily to visit relatives. I have no job at the moment, but I aim to come back to Canada  to finalize all my requirements for permanent residency.  What are the requirements I need to depart in the airport (esp NAIA)? Will there be additional documents required (ie. diploma from Canada, etc?)?  Will I be required to purchase a return ticket to the Philippines even if I live in Canada?

Response to Request

Your FOI request is approved. I enclosed a copy of the IACAT Revised Guidelines on Departure Formalities for International-Bound Passengers as reference of the information you requested.

A Resident Visa Holder must present a valid passport with valid resident visa and a resident card if applicable. A traveler with a resident visa is not required to present a return ticket. Please note however that student visa holders are required to present additional documents as stated in the guidelines.
