Many folks want to know if its ok to leave Canada and head to the US or elsewhere while on a working visa.
The answer is YES.
DRIVING
You need to have your passport and working visa with you. If you travel by car, you have to get out of the car at the US/Canada border and go into the office to get your green card (like when you travel to the US out of Ireland). There’s generally little hassle involved. It just adds about 30 minutes to your trip.
Driving back into Canada again you will need passport and visa. The Canadian border police are pretty decent, they want to see your visa and make sure you are legitimately entering Canada.
FLYING
No hassle flying out of Canada, returning through immigration however, they will look at your visa and likely ask you questions about what you are doing in Canada, what you are working at, and ask you what your plans are when your visa comes to an end.
We have had no hassle coming in and out of YVR (Vancouver airport) and that includes trips to the US, Europe and Mexico.
