I am currently on LMIA WP which expires July 2026. I applied for SOWP in June 2025 after I received the AOR and I got the WP-EXT letter which actually expires before my LMIA WP expires.
My questions - am I able to travel outside of Canada and return to Canada without any issues since my LMIA WP gives me status until July 2026 or does the SOWP application revoke my current LMIA WP? In the WP-EXT letter from IRCC via my SOWP application, there is a paragraph that says "if you leave Canada before a decision is made on your application, you will no longer be authorized to continue working". My concern is if I am able to continue working under my LMIA WP when I return to Canada since it is still valid until next year?
Thanks!
