Leaving Canada while applying for PR?

[Rhianon]

I'm working in Canada with a Work Permit expiring Jan 2007. I have applied for Permanent Residency under the Skilled Worker Program but need to take a leave of absence from Canada for four months, May - August. How would this affect my application for PR and renewal of my WP next January? My job in Canada would still be open for me on a permanent basis. Any thoughts welcome, thanks.

No effect other than the adaptibility points if you don't have the 1 year full time work experience in Canada, you will not get the 5 points.
