Hi,
I applied for a renewal of my current work permit, which got promptly accepted, and I received the IMM5659 letter confirming the acceptance.
However I still have not received the physical copy of my work permit.
At this point, I am not sure what my status is.
Am I still on implied status? Implied status is defined until a decision has been made, and in this case a decision HAS been made, but at the same time, the IMM5659 letter is explicitly not a work permit.
So, my question is, am I allowed to leave Canada and re-enter as a worker in my current status?

The questions here do not seem exceedingly informative.
I guess I fall in the category of:
My job has told me that in case I leave while on implied status, they would have to pause my employment until they receive the WP.
Personally, I am ok with that, if it means that I can leave and come back as a worker without other issues from immigration.
Any input on this issue is appreciated,
Thanks a lot.

I guess I fall in the category of:
- You may be allowed to come back to Canada as a worker, if the officer at the port of entry finds out that we extended your work permit while you were away.
