Visitor visa with an open work permit

[gta88]

Hi gta88,

I am having a similar situation, we are planning for a 10 day vacation to India. Were you able to reenter with multiple entry visitor visa and OWP?

TIA

Yes, I was able to enter without any issues. OWP+visitor visa. Was away for more than a month.

It's better than 4 weeks. Note that there is no guarantee of re-entry, so no matter the length of time, that risk is there.

what are the chances of getting a TRV from inside Canada approved using the OWP ?

A TRV is a TRV. It doesn't matter if it says visitor, student or worker; all that matters is that it is valid. There is no link to the IRCC website stating this, just as there is no link stating that people need to apply for a new TRV when their status changes.

Tell the person in the Whatsapp group to quote IRPA or even the IRCC website to support their claim. They won't be able to because they are wrong.

Aside from that, a person applying for inland sponsorship should not leave Canada for 4 weeks mid process.

Apologies as I am posting same question here but found a relevant discussion with you on this in the past.

Is this still valid for a person holding a VALID STUDENT VISA till June 2021 but is no more a student and holds a valid PGWP (with active employment) in hand and wants to travel outside Canada in December 2020? Is this acceptable for re-entry? Because applying for a TRV from outside Canada is really troublesome these days.
