Hi,

I applied for an extension of my Work Permit within Canada and got it approved for 3 years. Then I applied for a visa, and after it got approved I received my passport back with a 10-year V-1 Visitor Visa. Everything was done within Canada.

¡Question:
I want to travel outside of Canada for two weeks. When I return back, will I have issues at the Canadian border? I have the authorization to work in Canada, but the visa I hold is just a visitor's visa.

V1 visitor is a TRV only for entry purposes. The work permit lets you work and they ask for it at immigration when you land. No problems. Just normal stuff.
