Re-entry visa

[Jekish]

Hello! need some help/advice. im a live in caregiver here in calgary for more than a year already and my visa expires by march 2014 and im planning a vacation this coming end of november to october and a little bit confused not sure if i need to get a re entry visa because in my passport my entry is multiple. Do i need to get re entry visa or not?

Multiple entry visa means you can come and go as many times as you want as long as the visa is valid. (And valid reason why you are going in and out)

Make sure you get a letter from your employer saying you were allowed to go on vacation and coming back.

Tnx a lot! So i really need to get a re entry visa then...

 

[marsiangal]

you said your visa is still valid till march 2014? Do you mean work permit?

Don't they have the same validity?

 

[Jekish]

yes my work permit is valid until march 2014 same as my visa.

If you already have a visa, and it says multiple visa you don't have to get another one.
If you are going on vacation this october-november make sure you get a letter from your employer saying they are allowing you to go on vacation.
You will need that for the return to show to immigration officer along with passport and visa.

so that means im still allow to enter canada without filling a re-entry visa just having with me my valid passport, visa, work pemit and a letter of my employer.

Yes we are going around in circles. LOL.
You DON'T need another one. As long as they are both valid like you said till march 2014. and it says multiple entry. with passport and letter from employer.
