Am I keeping my work permit status? Is implied status only applies when your status is expired
If you leave with a valid work permit and return with a valid work permit, then you keep your status. If your work permit expired, and you apply for a new work permit, leave the country, then as far as I know, your status expires.
Your lawyer is incorrect. If you still have a valid WP you can leave and reenter the country. There is always a small chance you can refused entry everytime you leave Canada if you aren’t a PR or citizen, The issue is if you try to leave after your WP has expired and when you’ve applied for an extension so during the time you are on implied status. At that point you won’t be able to reenter. Are you currently working? Will you be working when you leave Canada and try to reenter?
Change lawyers.
thank you for the response
Yes I am working! At my own company and will still have 30 days for wp to expire when I get back to Canada
Pay for a lawyer. Legal services can’t give you an opinion without looking at your case. What kind of WP do you have if you are the owner of the company?
Hi, I have similar situation to the issue you replied here. so, currently I have applied for restoration status application with 18months work permit extension under new public policy announced in Aug 2022. my application is still in process so at this time I don't have any status in Canada. Now, If I have to leave canada in 3days what would be the chances for me re-enter Canada? and how can I re-enter? pls suggest/advise. Thanks
