Re-Entry to Canada with Canadian Student Visa

Yes, you can re-enter Canada if you travel abroad while holding a Canadian student visa (study permit). However, there are a few important considerations:

1. Valid Travel Documents: Ensure that your study permit, passport, and any required visas (e.g., a temporary resident visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)) are valid for re-entry into Canada.

2. Active Enrollment: You must be actively enrolled in your course of study at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada.

3. Proof of Funds: Be prepared to show proof that you have sufficient funds to support yourself during your stay in Canada.

4. Good Academic Standing: Maintain good academic standing and be able to demonstrate that you are progressing in your studies.

5. Travel Restrictions and COVID-19 Measures: Check for any travel restrictions or COVID-19 measures that may affect your return to Canada, such as quarantine requirements or travel bans.

6. Re-Entry Conditions: Upon re-entry, you may be questioned by a border services officer who will determine if you meet the conditions to re-enter Canada as a student.

It's advisable to carry all relevant documents, such as a letter from your school confirming your enrollment and a copy of your study permit. Always check the latest travel advisories and entry requirements on the official Government of Canada website before planning your trip.
