Hi Solanah,

I'm not too sure with your case but this is based from my experience. I went for holiday outside Canada while my PR was in process and I had no problem coming back. As long as you have a valid working permit and valid visa.I spoke with the immigration officer beforehand and they advised me to have those 2 requirements. You need to ask for a letter of reference from your employer too that you are going on holiday and be back in a certain date fully stated that you are still employed to them. I gathered all of these documents but the first 2 that I have mentioned was asked only at immigration area.
You can try to asked some more from this forum or to CIC.
