Can I leave Canada and re-enter while being self-employed?

[hrs_j]

Hi all, I was hoping someone could help me out here.

I have a multi-entry visa, and a work permit. Both are valid until Nov 2022. I'm renting an apartment in Canada, and all my cell phones, bank accounts are in Canada, etc.

Right now I'm self-employed, and I'm not working in health care, medical etc.

I wanted to find out if I could visit US for a conference, and re-enter Canada.

I did the assessment on travel.gc.ca and it says "Based on your answers, you will likely be allowed to enter Canada; however, the final determination will be made by a government official at the port of entry."

Can anyone help me confirm this, or share their experience?

Thank you very much!

It's an open work permit and it's a PGWP. I had a full-time job, but I quit my job a year ago to focus on my own stuff.

Yes won't be a problem. Bring proof of employment and records that you have an established life in Canada like a lease, utility bill, etc.

Thanks for your reply. Currently, I don't have an employer (I'm self-employed). Do you think that'd be an issue?

Bring proof that you employ yourself.
