Re-entering Canada on Multiple entry visitors visa

[jacob8]

Hi,

I have a visiting visa valid for 18 months.
I am currently in Canada on my visiting visa, with my husband, who is a citizen here.
I am planning to travel to India for a month after staying for five months.

Is it possible to enter back to Canada on my multiple entry visa? Is there a time limit where I have to stay out of the country, before entering back?

Please help.

Why wouldn't it be possible? Any specific reasons to be asking this?

Is there a time limit where I have to stay out of the country, before entering back?

No.

Regardless a visitor is not supposed to be "living" in the place he is visiting. A visitor is someone who spends less time in the visiting place than in his/her country of residence. It doesn't matter that you are playing by the rules, if the CBSA officer feels you are abusing the permissions given by the TRV they can refuse entry at any time. A good rule of thumb is to have stayed at least 6 months out of Canada in the last year.
