Possibility to re enter without Open work permit from US

[Irene Ahn]

Hi, I’m traveling US and I have Open Work Permit but I forgot to bring the original document along with me. I could come to US but I’m worried about if I would be allowed to re enter without WP or not. I do have eTA, and I have a photo of my original WP. I guess at kiosks, I have to select that I’m entering as a worker. Would it be a problem if I just select that I’m visiting Canada and pass officers?

No issues. CBSA will see your permit in the system.

Oh it’s good. I’m kind confused a friend of mine was asked to show her ORIGINAL work permit to officer. I just don’t wanna get caught so would it be better just in case to print copy of WP? I’m so nervous

And if she hadn't had it with her, CBSA would have looked it up in the system. You are worrying for no reason.

I’m relieved. Thank you so much for helping.
