Inland Application and Work Permit

[probability007]

Hi,
Earlier if someone applied an Inland application, it was not considered safe to travel outside the country.
Now with the new rule for Work Permit will this restriction be removed as currently on work permits can.
Also will a person be eligible to apply for health card as most of the people currently on work permits can.

No. Inland applicants both with and without OWP are not guaranteed re-entry into Canada. People who require visas to Canada still need to apply for a visa to enter Canada (if they don't have one already) whenever they leave Canada and wish to re-enter.

Health care depends on each province's rules.
