The title say it all. I would need to leave the country to see family but I didn't receive my visa extension yet. When I come back, (i know a visa is not valid for reentry but they did make me reenter on it once at christmas) will they use the same visa, emit a new one, or maybe i will have receive my extension but it will be in canada so i won't have it with me yet. Will the officer know if it was emit or I apply for extension or they don't have that informations ? Or I just shouldn't leave until I receive my extension.

Thank you for any help.

As soon as you leave Canada, your visitor status expires anyway. So it doesn't matter if you wait for your extension or not.
