Note you will need a valid TRV (visitor visa) as well as the OWP to return to Canada.

"Hi PMM! what do u mean visitos visa? I have working visa but expired so I need to to get re entry so I can return here."

The TRV-Temporary Resident Visa (visitor visa) is the same as what you called a re-entry...its a visa actually. You can file multiple entry if you travel outside Canada often or single entry....
