hi,

i will be out of canada while in between jobs. my current live~in caregiver work permit will expire while i'm out of the country, and i really need to go back to my home country.
upon applying for a re~entry visa, i will only have my newly issued open work permit (upon first stage approval of PR application) and a job offer to be a receptionist from a new employer.
the way i understand it, usually, a returning worker has to be working for a current employer already and will be resuming employment once back in canada, but in my case, for my re~entry visa application (under open permit status) i will only have a job offer letter from a canadian employer who really intends to hire me once i get my open permit.
will the canadian embassy accept and consider that even if it's only a job offer from a canadian employer?
or since i am in between jobs, should i apply for an interim work permit before leaving the country?
does the canadian embassy also consider an interim work permit to grant a re~entry visa?
hope you can shed some light on my case. thanks so much!

There is nothing specifically preventing issuance of a new entry visa in the circumstances described. It is otherwise impossible to say if a given individual will or will not be granted a temporary resident visa. The decision is highly discretionary and based finally on whether or not the immigration official believes that the candidate is likely to depart Canada in the case that immigration status expires.
