Hi guys,

Im waiting for my PGWP, and I am planning to go home since work permit takes longer than I thought.

And I have a few questions as follow:

1. If my work permit got approved while I am away, what visa status will I be when I am trying to come back to Canada?
- Visitor or Worker??

2. If I come back to Canada as a visitor, should I go to the border with my work permit to update my status? Or Does it update automatically from visitor to worker?

I'd really appreciate if anyone can answer me.

Thanks :)

Answer to visitor or worker at the bottom of page in the link below. Note you will still of course need a valid TRV or if visa exempt an ETA to travel back to Canada.

Hi- Did you travel and were able to get back to Canada ok? and also the status from visitor to worker changed on its own? I would really appreciate any information you can provide?
