[geeti]

Hi,

My wife came to canada as a visitor earlier this year and applied inland.
Now the work permit received and her visitor visa is still valid for 3 years.

Do we need to apply for a w1 visa if we want to travel abroad?

Thanks

If she comes from a country which requires a TRV (sticker in passport), then she should have the Visa in passport.

If her current TRV is still valid, she can re-enter with that plus carry the OWP as well.

If the TRV has expired, then new one needs to be applied.

Only exception is if she re-enter from USA via land border then she does not require TRV in passport.
(But to enter USA, a US Visa would be necessary).

If she is residing here and has OWP and a job for some time, no harm in applying a US Visitor Visa too.
