on work permit having student visa

[moyaeng]

Hi,

I got a 1-year study permit last year and was given a 5-year student visa (S1) [this S1 visa is valid up to 2021]. Recently, I received a work permit and now I am on the work permit in Canada. I am planning to have a visit to my country and return Canada afterwards. Do you think my current visa is ok for me to reenter Canada or I have to apply for a new visa?

Thank you in advance,

Your study visa will get you back into Canada even though you're a worker now. Any valid visa (study, work) will allow entry into Canada as a visitor, as long as you're not inadmissible. Since you also have a valid work permit, you can continue to work the moment you come back.
