Can I leave the country on a temporary work permit?

[Martine]

Hi all

I just moved to Canada with my husband who's here on a skilled worker permit. Since I'm accompanying him, I got a temporary work permit. But I have to go back to Norway for an exam in June. My work permit is for three years. Is it okay to travel outside the country in this time or am I stuck here?

If I leave the country, will I be able to return? Will my work permit be revoked? I have to leave in June or my college degree will be invalid. How do I make sure that nothing goes wrong here?

Thanks!

Yes, you can leave the country, provided that you have multiple entry valid visa or passport from the country which does not require visa to enter Canada.

Good luck with your exam!

How do I see on my visa whether or not it's a multiple entry visa? It says: "Permis de travail" and "Ceci n'autorise pas la rentree."

In your case it doesn't matter as you are a Norwegian citizen and don't require a visitor visa (TRV) to return to Canada.

Thank you so much!

That's a relief.
