Ah ok. Yes, the lawyers are correct and you should not leave through the duration of your sponsorship process. A work permit is generally issued about 4 months into the process so that matches what your lawyers told you.So long story short myself and my wife put through an application for spousal sponsorship. This was submitted on January on January 31st 2019. A work permit through the pilot program was also submitted on that date. My lawyers claim I should get the work permit approval by the end of this month however I am still waiting on the AOR email.In the attempt to contact my lawyers with no luck I contacted another firm. kindly they did not charge me but they said I would not be able to travel as the work permit was an inland application therefore if I leave I will not be eligible for reentry. To make things worse myself and my wife had booked a delayed honeymoon to Japan in November.
So to clarify the that is simply a work permit? It does not give me any freedom to leave the country if I wish to re enter?Ah ok.

Yes, a work permit gives you the right to work. The right to apply to enter Canada is granted by a Temporary Resident Visa. The two aren't the same thing.So to clarify the that is simply a work permit? It does not give me any freedom to leave the country if I wish to re enter?
Yes, but you must have got a visa in your passport. Or are you from a visa-exempt country - in that case, you would have an ETA. Are those documents still valid? NOT the work permit.. the visa or the ETA.First of all, thanks for the feedback. The day I’ve had
I entered on a 2 year Work Permit back in early 2017.
Ok, so you have a valid ETA. Assuming your sponsorship is a straightforward case and there are no red flags, one short vacation shouldn't cause issues. I wouldn't stay out for longer than 14 days though.So I’m an Irish citizen, I have the ETA from when I was originally emigrating. Expiration date 18/10/2021.
No passport visa, just entry stamps. Terms of permit I have the paper document given to me on arrival in immigration
Yeah, you'll be fine. Put the Cuba vacation on ice this year and go for your delayed honeymoon.Thank you for the glimmer of hope my case is straightforward and A very solid case. Thank you so much for the advice, I hope it works on the day.
