Is your study/work permit a travel document?

Author By EUIC Admin Categories Study Visa

Dear future neighbour,

We get asked this question frequently and here is the answer, NO! Your study/work permit is not a travel document. If you plan to travel outside Canada while studying/working in Canada, you will need a valid visitor visa to exit and re-enter Canada.

If you have a valid work/study permit but your visitor visa has expired, you will need to renew it before you exit Canada, otherwise there is no guarantee that you would be  allowed to re-enter Canada.

Hope this helps!
