renewal of canada visa

[Jocelyn]

hi. my passport will expire in May 2010. my canada visa also expires in may 2010 same with my work permit which also expires may 2010 since it was based on my passport validity. i am planning of going home to my country for a vacation this december and i am wondering if it is alright for me to do it. i am under the live-in caregiver program. would i be able to come by january with the expiry date of my visa and work permit so near? please advise. thank you
