documented needed to come into canada from vacation
We are going home on Monday for our first holiday after being in Canada nearly a year. I know that when i come back we fill out a form on the plane & show passports etc to immigration person. (We have only done this as holidaymakers & on the last occasion we were getting temporary work permits issued as we were coming to live). I was wondering whether we need to bring the actual paper version of the Temporary Work Permit to show the officer when we return?
many thanks
many thanks

Re: documented needed to come into canada from vacation
If you’re on TWP’s they should be stapled to the inside of your passports. That and a valid ETA are all you need to come and go.
My husband and I have been living in Calgary since January and he leaves the country once a month for work going all over. He just does as I’ve said above and he’s never had an issue.
Have fun!

I have been asked to show it previously when crossing the border. To be on the safe side I would suggest you take the work permit with you.
Note: for some airports you no longer fill the customs declaration in on the plane. At some airports you know do it on an electronic kiosk (not unlike most check-in machines) when you arrive in the arrivals hall.

Re: documented needed to come into canada from vacation
If your flying into any of the following airports:
Ottawa International Airport – YOW
Vancouver International Airport – YVR
Terminal 3, Toronto Pearson International Airport – YYZ
Edmonton International Airport – YEG
Everyone uses the new kiosks, you don't need to fill in the customs form (It won't even be handed out)
You can also use the new app (You only need one device) and it lets you fill out all the information before you land (and saves you a lot of time at the kiosk).

thanks Hurlabrick, but kiosks aren't even an option for us in Newfoundland, but good to know nonetheless

Yeah they are a bit awkward to read the PR cards. picture has to be in the bottom right and face down. Some global entry and APC kiosks in the US (made by the same manufacturer) also have the same issue with US green cards.

I second this. My wife and I have been on TPW's since 2015. They didn't staple ours into our passports, but we always have to show the originals when we return from abroad. We are americans, usually cross by car at Lacolle / Lake Champlain coming back into Quebec from visiting family in the US.
