Hi Everyone,

My open permit to work in Canada is expiring in Nov/2016. I am thinking to make a trip to my home country and come back to Canada at the end of July 2016. Will the immigration officer at that time ask me if I am employed in any company or job? Will I have any problem to re-enter Canada?

Any Suggestions welcomed!

Thanks

Well assuming you will have a TRV or are from a visa exempt country and are not inadmissable for any criminal reason then do not see why not. You will get asked usual questions i expect like return ticket, are you employed, visit plans anything that ties you back to home country. Obviously having had an open work permit you may get asked a few more questions but as long as honest answers. Assume July 2016 is a typo and should be july 2017

Since you have a open work permit, you can re-enter into canada. If you are coming back to canada(Lets say Oct or Nov) close to your work permit expiring date then they might ask you more question like why are you coming back now with out any job. So If You are coming in July then its shouldn't be a problem.

Hope this Info Helps.

Cheers!
