Thank you legalfalcon. Really appreciate your suggestions. I have some post PPR questions, which are mentioned below.
1. My medical will expire on 12 February, 2018. Hope my visa will be valid till that date. Can I land in early or mid January, 2018?
Your visa is valid for:
6 months from the date of issue;
the day your PP expires; or
the day your medicals expire (1 year validity)
Which ever is earlier.
So when you receive CoPR and visa, you can land any time before the visa expiry date.
2. At the application stage I chose Vancouver as my preferred destination. However, I am currently thinking about landing and settling in Ottawa. Will this be a problem? Do I need to notify CIC about the change?
If you are FSW you can land and settle anywhere, except Quebec. If you want to settle in Quebec, you can as a FSW, but when you land, you cannot let them know that you intend to go to Quebec. To read more see https://www.getgcms.com/blog/understanding-provincial-nomination-pogram/
3. My daughter and wife are non-accompanying in my application. This was done due to personal and family reasons. Can my family apply for a TRV after I land in Canada and receive my PR card?
Your family can apply for TRV, but they have to meet the conditions.
4. Once they are in Canada on TRV, I want to process their PR application by sponsoring them.
In such a case, will my wife require an IELTS and ECA (she is a Masters degree holder)?
For family sponsorship there is no need for IELTS or ECA. All you need is to meet the financial requirements and other requirements.
Your considerate reply will be highly appreciated.
