Hello, I had a "W-1 Worker" visa and the "letter of introduction" with an employer in Quebec but my contract was canceled before arriving in Canada. Can I enter Canada with my visa or do I absolutely need a valid contract with another employer. NB: my wife and my children received their visa (visitor and study).

I would say that there isn't a 100% clear answer to this question. CBSA will sometimes verify the employment offer is still valid on arrival. Ideally you should be arriving with a valid contract / job offer with the employer listed on your work permit.

Thanks scylla, but if I travel to Canada with this Visa without a new contract, will I risk being expelled from the airport? How can I be sure? Thanks for your help.
