What are the terms of a student visa?
Are you allowed to leave the country, and re-enter Canada on a student visa?
We are planning a week long trip down South, and are wondering if there will be problems.
Thanks again! |

If your student visa is multiple, then you can leave the country and enter again within the validity of the visa. Edited by job_seeker - 03 Dec 2009 at 4:18pm |

Here's what I read on CIC's site: If you leave Canada and want to return, you must have:
If you are a citizen of a designated country and you travel to a country other than the United States, Greenland or Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, you will need a multiple-entry visa to re-enter Canada. If your temporary resident visa has expired or if your visa was only valid for a single entry, you must re-apply for a temporary resident visa at a Canadian visa office outside Canada before you can re-enter Canada. On reading this - it seems that if you have the first two (passport and valid study permit) you should be ok - UNLESS you are from a 'designated' country that requires a TRV.In this case, my partner has the first two requirements. She is originally from France, which is not one of the 'designated' countries.
I'll call CIC to be sure - but here's to hoping that we can go to Mexico, have a great trip, and BOTH come back to Canada.

UPDATE: We went to Mexico in December and were able to return to Canada with absolutely no problems.
