Can they prevent me from working in Canada, when I hold a valid work permit?

Question

Hi,

Recently I came to Turkey for vacation from Canada (where I work). Then when I was taking my connecting flight from Germany, they told me that my visa to enter Canada has expired. So I had to go to Ankara/Turkey to apply for a new visa.

I have told everything there is to it and provided copies of letters my company sent by fax that asks them to allow me to come back as I am one of the key programmers there, and it impacts the production.

It has been 2 days, but for me every single day counts so I need the visa urgently.

I am wondering if the embassy can prevent me from going back to Canada and stop me from working there and thus making me lose my job?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Technically, yes, the Embassy can always deny you entry into Canada.  Ultimately, the government, not your company, has the final say if you can enter the county.

Answer 2

Since it is their country and you are a guest there, they can do as they please.

Answer 3

contact the canadaian govt at www.canada.gc.ca see dept of foreign affairs. you may have violated a rule and having a work permit does not allow you the legal right to reenter just as a legal perm landed immigrant would.

www.canada.gc.ca for the laws go to www.canlii.org  good luck.
