Hi,
I have been working in Canada and resigned now for a job. I'm back to my home country , now I have received a positive LMIA from new employer Canada. My Canada visa is still valid till April 2017, shall I travel back to Canada to get my WP at port of Entry Canada.?

Can someone please advise here

Thanks in Advance

Are you from a visa exempt country? If so, you can obtain your work permit at the border. If not, then you have to apply for your new work permit in advance of entering Canada.

No. I'm from India. Though my TRV is valid for multiple entries, still I need to apply for WP before Travelling to Canada ?

Thanks for your advise and info

Yes - you still need to apply for the work permit in advance. You unfortunately don't meet the criteria for applying at the border since you're not visa exempt.
