Got TRV (work VISA) to return to Canada - some questions

Just to give people my background: I was living in Canada on Work Permit (was doing a full time job), then had to come back to my home country (Bangladesh) due to a family emergency (I left my job when coming here). Then I applied for a TRV to return to Canada from Bangladesh. Got my TRV a while back. My VISA has been issued on 17th September 2021 and it is valid until 16th March 2024.

So 2 questions:
1) Now that I have my VISA, I can travel to Canada without problem, correct? Or do I need a job offer to enter? Based on my knowledge, they opened the border after 7th Sept, and will allow people to travel, is that correct? I am also fully vaccinated (double shot of Pfizer).

2) Is it OK for me to delay the travel, like I want to travel somewhere around January next year. Since my VISA is valid until 2024, I can travel anytime before that, right? I want to travel 2-3 months later. Or is there a requirement that I have to travel immediately post having the VISA? This point is important as I don't want my VISA getting damaged.

If you have PWGP (Open work permit) and valid TRV (Temporary resident visa) then you can travel without job offer.

You can choose to travel whenever you want. You may want to check travel restrictions and requirements before you book the ticket. I hope this helps!

@Bangladeshi_boy Can I know When you applied TRV and how long it took for IRCC to get back on TRV. Did they provide you TRV Until your work permit expiry date or more ? Please let me know. Thank you

@Bangladeshi_boy Thanks for your timeline. I am actually on Extension of bridge work permit. I applied TRV and I travelled to India ? Do you have any idea if they accept my application and request passport ? Or do they reject ?

nope, applied from Bangladesh. The estimated time in website shows 100+ days for canada, and about 30 days from Bangladesh. so I knew what to do.

According to cic website, it should take 45 days from India ... dunno why it's taking so long. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html You can check it here.

@RavRishi yes they did.
