[amita aishwarya]

Hi All,

I do have a valid work permit and USA dependent visa however my current TRV is in progress. I have submitted the application in June 1 immediately after getting my renewed work permit but haven't got any mail from IRCC for visa stamping. Its just showing "Application is in Progress".

With valid work permit can I come back to Canada from USA? I was planning to travel to USA for personal emergency. Is it possible to leave the country and return back to Canada with valid work permit.

i work in canada but need to travel to USA on emergency basis for a month and planning to return after a month.

Please help

Hello,

You need a valid TRV to re-enter Canada, even when you have a valid work permit.
Current processing time for TRV from inside Canada is 170 days

Yes its showing 170 days i was checking in IRCC website and found this what does this mean?

Expired temporary resident visa

• You can request to return to Canada on your original temporary resident visa, even if it is expired, if:
  • you will only visit the U.S. or St. Pierre and Miquelon; and
  • you will return to Canada before the end of your approved stay in Canada.
