vacation

[crausus_rubie01]

Hi there, have some question, I am an open permit holder until 2015, I am planning to have a vacation in Hongkong by Sept 21, 2012 but the problem is my visa was expired last December 2010. I phoned Philippine Consulate already and they advised me to call the CIC but as we all know it is very hard to get hold of them them, but i am still trying. I hope you can enlightened me about this.



thanks,
Rubie

You leave Canada and then want to re‑enter

If you leave Canada after working here and then want to come back here to work, you must have a valid passport or travel document and a valid work permit.

If you are a citizen of a country that requires a temporary resident visa to travel to Canada, you must also have a valid entry visa to return, unless you are returning to Canada from the United States, Greenland or Saint-Pierre et Miquelon and the period initially authorized for your entry or any extension to it, as a visitor, student or worker has not expired.

Possession of these documents does not guarantee that you will be allowed back into Canada. You must show that you meet all the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations before you will be allowed to re-enter Canada.

You can apply for a visa outside Canada, your case the Philippines. Check the processing time. Without the visa you won't be allowed entry to Canada even if you have a valid OWP.
