My Open work permit and Work Visa will expire on June 2025. Can i travel outside Canada for more than 6 months? Do you think i can comeback before my permits and visa expires?
I will be working remotely from outside Canada for my Canadian company. What do i need to re-enter Canada considering my permit and visa still valid for a few months by that time? Shall my permit, visa and additional employment documents enough?

Yes you can leave Canada. Your time working abroad is unlikely to count towards Canadian experience. You may lose healthcare coverage and need to reapply depending on the time period.

Thank you for answering. Is it still okay shall i come back maybe March 2025 if my permit and visa expires on June 2025?
I am worried since this is only a few months before expiration.
