Hello I'm currently in Canada as tourist and I've applied for an open work permit through the temporary public policy for nationals of Iran in Canada. I wanted to know if it's possible for me to leave Canada for about 10 days (not going back to Iran, going to a different country) while my open work permit is being processed.
Can I leave the country while waiting for my open work permit as an Iranian

Thank you. So is it absolutely not gonna affect the acceptance of my open work permit? Some Lawyers says it does but I'm not sure what their reasoning or their source is because there's no concrete proof whatsoever.
The issue OP has is that this is a special policy for Iranians to apply from inside Canada for an open work permit so they don’t have to leave Canada. OP wants to leave Canada which may show that an open work permit is not required.

It's a new public policy. I doublt any of us here can answer this question with 100% certainty. The best we can do is guess. If you want no risk of the open work permit being refused, then the absolute safest bet is to remain in Canada.
team, same issue here with different nationality, I'm currently in Canada as tourist and I've applied for an open work permit through the temporary public policy for nationals of Sudan in Canada. I wanted to know if it's possible for me to leave Canada (not going back to Sudan, going to a different country) while my open work permit is being processed.
thank you for the reply .. i asked to see the experience from the original question from the member from Iran if it worked with him.
Salam bro,
Would you please update us about your case? I have same concern and would like to know staying inside Canada during OP request processing is mandatory? Had you gone out of Canada for short time or not?
Read the public policy
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/policies-operational-instructions-agreements/public-policies/iran-nationals-extend-stay.html
“It is understood that some of these temporary residents may feel uncomfortable returning to Iran at this time, and may wish to prolong their stay. The measures outlined in this public policy will make it easier for those who wish to extend their temporary stay in Canada without fees and move between temporary resident streams.”
You’re pushing the proverbial envelope
Hi, I am student and my application is in process. Did you get any update if we can leave for a short trip and get back without affecting our application?
