Valid Work Permit but Expired TRV, travel To US and come back by air

[marycanada]

They only asked me on my return..I used the American Airlines...they asked both at US (the airlines) and at Canada customs...Just tell them that there is an exception.. they will check their computers and let you in....so no problem..

Carry your old expired visa with you...and all other documentation like employment letter, tax documents, etc..

They never checked mine..but its good to have them handy..in case they ask for it.

Have a good trip...

1. Your passport and your work permit. As long as you are only going to the US and St. Pierre et Miquelon, you can return to Canada up to July/13.
2. You know this question has been answered at least a hundred times in this forum.

Hello,

I have some more serious case to ask your suggestion.

My TRV has already expired 2 days ago. (Jan 13,2013)
My work permit is going to expired in 3 days (Jan 19,2013) I have already applied for an extension of my work permit 2 months ago
(Nov 7,2012) but recently I checked they are only still processing the applications submitted on October 10,2012. My work permit will likely be processed next month for sure.
I have an emergency trip to make to go to Los Angeles some time next week or in 2 weeks.

My Question:
How Can I come back with least problem ?

Pls help me. Thank you very much.

xoxo

Hey Guys,
I know you have already confirmed that having a legal status (e.g study permit) in Canada will get you through the border when ONLY traveling to the U.S.

I am planning to take the Air Canada. Do you guys think that the staff at the Canadian air lines may know already about the policy? I am just worried that they keep me waiting and I'll miss my flight

Also, is there such requirement that your study permit needs to be valid for at least 6 months or upon your return? I am going to the U.S in Sept for a week and my study permit expires in Nov.

Thanks so much.

Hey guys,

Expired temporary resident visa (TRV)

You can request to return to Canada on your original temporary resident visa, even if it is expired, if:
you will only visit the U.S. or St. Pierre and Miquelon; and
you will return to Canada before the end of your approved stay in Canada.

An officer will confirm whether you meet all the requirements before allowing you to come back to Canada. If you visit any country other than those listed above, you will need a new temporary resident visa.

Also make sure you have your OWP, letter of job offer if you have it.

As Awesome explained.... you can definitely travel without one. Nonetheless you will have to give explanations all over the place about why you don't have a valid TRV (for example Airlines do not like people boarding without a proper TRV). Better to get one if you can.

Hey guys,
Do you think it is mostly the international airlines (other than Air Canada), who may not know about this policy? I know you have the right to visit the U.S without a TRV, but I am just paranoid that they are not going to let me board
Any thoughts on that? Thanks.

Hello,

I am a student in Canada and I have a valid study permit, but my Canadian visa has expired. I already applied for U.S Visa and my interview date is 13th April. My doubt is now the Canadian visa has expired and if I send my Passport for visa extension it will take approximately a month. Will my expired Canadian Visa would create any problem for my U.S Visa application, though I have Valid study Permit?
