BOWP - Implied status

[SushmaPS]

Hello everyone,

I have submitted my PR application and applied for a Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP). My current work permit expires on February 20, 2025. However, I need to visit India for an important event and plan to return to Canada on February 16, 2025.

1) Will I face any issues re-entering Canada on February 16, as it is very close to the expiry date of my PGWP?
2) Will I lose the implied status of my BOWP because I left the country, or does it only apply after the expiry of my PGWP (i.e., after February 20)?
3) If I do lose the implied status, can I cancel my current BOWP application when I return on February 16 and reapply for a new one if it has not been processed by then?

Please advice

Do you have a valid TRV to re-enter?

Do you have a valid TRV to re-enter?

I have the TRV that was stamped after my pgwp was approved initially. It says visitor, multiple re entry, V1 category and valid upto 2029

Will that be enough? Please let me know

It should be. You lose status, I believe.
