Need some urgent assistance.Hope you can help me out here
I used to work in Canada and returned to India 3 weeks back, My work permit as well as worker visa is valid till May 2019.But my work permit is a closed one restricted by my employer. While I was in Canada I got admitted to one of the universities for MBA which starts next Jan.For that purpose I had applied for Study Permit from Canada which got approved and mailed to my Canadian Address and which should be reaching me by this weekend.
My Question is can I reenter Canada with my old Visa (Having category as worker) and study permit given the fact that I will not be working for the employer post December? Or Is it possible to have a visa stamped to enter Canada since I already have a study permit?

You can travel to Canada on your current TRV.

I don't know if that's gonna help, but this is some of my experience.

I was a student and applied for a work permit (at that time it was required). I left the country and my work permit came to my Canadian address while I was gone. My sister sent me a scan of it and when I arrived back to the airport, I showed them the copy and told them that I have it at home. The officer checked in the computer and said it's all good and let me in.

While you re entered did your visa have a category as "Student"?

Since I have a closed work permit and I will be resigning from that organization before coming to Canada, Can It cause some problems at the port of entry since my category of the visa is worker?

Yes, but I was still enrolled at college. I had both study permit and off campus work permit, so technically i was a student.

Im just saying that, they let me in with a copy of the permit, I did not have an actual one with me at the border.
