Hi guys,

I recently got an approval from CIC for my open work permit application which I applied through Online. And have already dispatched my passport to embassy for the Visa stamping. I have been waiting to get my passport along with the visa stamped.

However I have few doubts...

1. Open work permit is allowed multiple entries or just single entry?
2. I am planing to visit Canada for 4 weeks in Mid-September due to my current job. But I will move to Canada in January 2019 . So wouldnt have any problem if I go through this way?
3. my wife student visa expires in August 2019, So I think I will get my visa with the same visa expiry date ?

I would be glad to get your comments on my post.

Hi

1. Whether the TRV is single or multiple-entry depends on the VO. No one can tell you what it will be.

2. If the TRV is single-entry, you will need to apply for another one in order to return in Jan.

3. Yes.

Thanks for your comments. Any idea OWP often comes with multiple or single entry? Believe me I used to think it only comes with multiple entry. Incase it would be a single entry, Can I travel in January 2019 instead of in mid-september 2018? I just want to know if there is some terms and condition like I have to be in Canada within a month of period!!

As I said, no can can tell you if it will be single or multiple.

Can't say what the initial validity will be but you will likely be fine to enter Jan.

Thanks once again :) I really appreciate to get your responses.

Anyway, I was trying to figure out about OPW's terms and condition but did not find any relevant stuffs(Got just basic requirements in Google).

I cant do anything now. just to wait to get my passport. Well, I will let you know as soon as I get my passport back with visa stamped. I wish I would be allowed to have multiple entries.

Hi There,

Today I got my passport back along with visa stamped(number of entries: multiple and valid till 08-2019). So Can I travel to Canada for a month trip in Sep 2018 and after 3 months(Jan 2019), I will move to Canada till my visa validity? But I heard that Canada Border security force might cancel my entry into Canada. Is it correct? Actually, Multiple entries means that I can enter into Canada several times. Please give your comments. thanks in advance.

Why would CBSA "cancel your entry"? You can visit and then move.
