Work permits Vs Visa.

[leninkumar]

Hi All,

I am working here (Canada), my work permit expiry on Mar-18-2013. But I have VISA still Dec 20-2013. My Employer already started my Work permit extension (But as per my employer words, work permit extension process will take 2-3 months, I will get my extended work permit only end of March 2013).

Now I am planning to go back to my native (India) for vacation during Feb or March.

Since my work permit is going to get on march, May I have any issue while I return back to Canada after my vacation ( With NO Valid work permit but with valid visa)?

My status here is Work permit.

Hi leninkumar,

You would need a valid Work Permit ( or Visitor permit) and visa to return back to Canada.
