Hi, in my understanding,If you're a worker and if you are a citizen of visa exempt countries you don't need to have a entry visa, just the work visa.But if you're a citizen from countries that needs temporary resident visa/entry visa, you have to have a valid entry visa/trv and a valid working permit to re enter canada. Hope this will help.

1. Not correct. As long as the OP only visits the US and St. Pierre et Miquelon and returns within the validity of his/her work permit, then s/he doesn't require a new TRV.
