CEC - Taking Extra Vacation Out of Country

[alpacas]

Hello,

I am working in Canada full time under the CEC program.

My terms of employment allow 10 days of paid vacation per year. I am looking to go back to my home country for 16 days during this period (counting the weekend before, during and after the 10 days paid vacation). But what happens if I stay longer with my employer's permission? Essentially I'll be going for 1 month or longer and anything after 2 weeks will be unpaid vacation. Since it's a deviation from the original contract will this look bad or even make me ineligible for the CEC program?

I am already aware that any time out of the country does not count towards the 52 weeks.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Paid vacation counts as part of the work experience.
You just need to work 2 more weeks to make up for the unpaid vacation.

??? What kind of work permit, and when does it expire?

What? No, contracts are amended all the time, that's not an issue. What *might* be an issue is the validity on your work permit, whether there is enough time on your work permit to extend your employment in Canada.

Not entirely correct. Your paid vacation time counts as employment, does not matter where you are for that.
As noted above, you would just have to work longer to compensate for the leave of absence without pay, to meet the eligibility requirements under CEC.
