my owp and pr application is still on process. 15-16 mos to process and i sent it july 2010. i'm wanting to go back home for a short while while waiting for my owp. there are some personal problems that i have to deal too. would it be a problem? my visa is expired, can someone please give me a link of visa application. ive been searching but most of them are temporary visitor visa or someone who doesn't have a work permit yet. my case is i have a canadian work permit and all i need is a visa to apply to seattle or buffalo before i leave Canada. thanks a lot.

See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/visa.asp and you include a copy of your work permit. They are all the same, you need a TRV.

I think the visa offices want the app validated so you have to type directly into the form and then print once it is validated (bar code appears). Anyway if you have a valid Work Permit, a letter form your employer (meaning you are employed), and you have a valid TRV, then there's no reason why the POE officer won't let you enter Canada again.

when did you send your re entry visa application? Have you received it already? How many weeks?
