Re-entering Canada after a trip to Europe with my visa sent for amendment
I am a temporary resident living in Canada under a study permit visa. But due to a mistake on the visa, I must send it to Ottawa to get it fixed. That process takes a while. In the meantime, I have to travel to Europe and I am worried about coming back to Canada while the visa is still in Ottawa being processed because I don't know if they will allow me to enter as a student anymore. I am planning to bring a copy of the study permit, but still don't know.
I've been looking for similar questions and it seems like entering as a tourist is not a good solution.

Well, after a couple of calls to the CIC Call Center (+1-888-242-2100), all I need is a photocopy of my current study permit and a photocopy of the application form that I'm using to get it fixed. I might have interesting times at the the customs, but apparently it will be OK.
The important point here is that regardless of whether I physically have the study permit with me or not, I still have a legal status in Canada.
