Implied status

[Roselineun]

Hi,

my previous visa expired last Feb and I applied for a closed work permit from my current company a month ago. So I am maintaining 'implied status' until I get a closed work permit, In this period, Can I visit to my country for few weeks or not?
Actually I already booked my flight in Sep but I am not sure if I can get a new visa before Sep because IRCC is on disruption..

If you didn’t apply for a new WP before the old one expired you are not on implied status. Did your compliant get a new LMIA if you are applying for a closed WP? In general if you leave Canada you lose your implied status.
