Yesterday I received my email stating 'ready for visa' from IRCC and instructing me to send a copy of my passport. I am from the UK so a photocopy is enough - I don't need to mail it. The deadline given was 30 days to submit the documents.
I have a flight to the UK booked for the 23rd of December returning the 29th and I want to make sure that I can leave and re-enter Canada without problems during this time, as friends who have done the PR process said they were unable to leave while they were waiting for their PR card.
If I send my documents away, am I okay to leave and return while I am waiting for them to mail them back? (I currently have foreign worker status) What if they return the documents and confirmation of permanent residence before I leave or while I'm away - would I still be able to re-enter using my worker status? I called CIC to ask and the agent seemed unsure of what I was asking so I wondered if anyone here has a similar experience, so I can be 100% sure.
Thanks!
