Hello! Hope someone here can help because no one ever replied to my post on Canada Visa forum lol

I entered Canada as an international student, and now I have a PGWP valid until 2024 and a valid ETA.

I travelled to my home country to visit family, stayed longer due to Covid, vaccinations and a long time not seeing family, and I want to know if I will have any problems re-entering Canada after about 6 months away.
I couldn't find anything online about how long can I be out of Canada as a temporary resident, and I tried searching through this forum but couldn't find a similar situation here.

Thank you for your help!

If you have a valid ETA, you should be ok, but prepare to explain why you were gone for longer

Thank you again for your advice! I was apprehensive about this even though I couldn't find any limitation or condition regarding this on my type of visa and permit. I will get ready to explain and hope I don't get a border officer that's having a bad day... haha
