Able to leave Canada & return while waiting for PR?

[BAK123]

Can I leave Canada on vacation for 1 week if I have sent in my Medical results and I am waiting for the last bit of the process to be completed while on a BOWP??

Or must I remain in Canada until the process is complete and I have PR status?

It's not practical to require applicants to stay inside while application is being processed. I have not seen or heard of any such requirement either. Feel free to leave and come back but make sure you meet the usual entry requirements.

Yes.

Enjoy vacation !

That's actually the case for inland spousal sponsorship (you leave the country and they assume you've abandoned the application) - however for the CEC class this is not the case.

Cheers to all!
