Hi,
I'm on my study permit (expires on August 2019) and I have a multiple visa. Me and my wife (citizen) have submitted our application for sponsorship. There is a trip that we need to make in July, and I was wondering whether I will face problem re-entering Canada considering that I'm on study permit right now.

thanks

I was in the same situation only I only had the study permit.
I chose to avoid leaving since you can be denied entry for any reason under any visa and then we ran the risk of possibly having to end our application. So I wasn't about those chances. I'm sure you'd be fine though just like I would've been I had left.

Thank you for your response,
I could not understand what exactly you mean by "then we ran the risk of possibly having to end our application. So I wasn't about those chances", could you please explain whether you finally decided to leave or not ?

Did you apply inland or outland?

Others can comment as well but one of the main challenges with applying inland as I understand is that there is always the risk when anyone leaves the country whilst the inland application is processing that if someone for whatever reason is denied entry back into Canada or their temporary residence status is affected in any way IRCC may consider the PR application as having been abandoned. The latter is not a given scenario by the way just that inland applicants need to be aware that it could happen should the conditions fall into place.

For this reason many people go with the outland option given should they need to leave the country even though they could still be denied entry or in leaving their status has been affected by leaving and coming back that they do not run the risk of IRCC seeing any PR application as having been abandoned.
