Travel to India After Receiving PR Invitation – Any Issues with Application or Re-entry?

[jayasuresh82]

Hi everyone,
I received my Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Permanent Residency on June 12, 2025, under the Express Entry system. I have all my documents ready and am planning to submit the PR application through the portal soon. My 60-day deadline is August 11, 2025.

Here’s my current situation:
I’m planning to travel to India for a one-month vacation, and I’m a bit unsure about the best timing for this travel in relation to my PR application.
Could anyone please help clarify the following:

1. Can I travel to India after submitting my PR application, and then return to Canada while it’s being processed?
2. Or is it safer to complete my travel first and submit the application only after returning to Canada?
3. Has anyone else traveled internationally (especially to India) during their PR application processing? Did you face any issues with re-entry or delays?

I hold valid status in Canada and will ensure all documentation is in place, but I’d love to hear from someone who has gone through a similar situation.

Looking forward to any guidance or shared experiences.

Thank you so much in advance!

Warm regards,
Subi
