If the job you were coming to Canada to do , no longer exists , what would be your reason to come now , during a pandemic?

When does it expire? You can try as officials may ask you for your employment letter & quarantine plan. You would come alone as your family needs special authorization to travel. You need to have a place to quarantine for 14 days. Being on a closed work permit, you can‘t work and finding another LMIA will be difficult with millions out of work.

Thanks for the enlightening , actually this is my initial plan, is to move alone as with family will be hard to cope up . My visa will expire end of 2021 .
but my worries is when I reach the boundaries in the airport to be rejected and then will be very difficult .
therefore I want to know if this visa might get me in to canada and search work later.

You can travel as long as it is a valid TRV

Please somebody to share inputs here
I do not think you can do this right now.

Under normal circumstances (Pre-COVID), you could have travelled to Canada, and the CBSA office might have allowed you in as a visitor (NOT allowed to work) since you have a valid visa even though your job is no longer there.

However, right now you cannot travel to Canada as a visitor so it will not work. Let's see if anyone else has more information.

You will need to show recent confirmation that your still have the job. Canada is aware that many jobs have been cancelled so they will look for recent confirmation that your job is still required or they will call the employer to verify you still have the job. if you arrive in Canada without the job you can be sent home on the next flight. The airline may also refuse your boarding without recent confirmation from your employer that you will still have a valid job offer.
