Hello @legalfalcon ...
My question is about applying for a US visitor visa but it does involves my Canadian PR application.
-1- Can my application for the Canadian permanent residence help in my US visitor visa by proofing to the US consular that I am not willing to stay in the US and I am leaving USA after a certain amount of time? Or it's better not to mention anything about my Canadian PR during my interview at the US embassy?
-2- Right now I don't have my COPR nor my Canadian visa. Let's say that it would be helpful to show to the consular that at least my application is still in process, what documents should I show him? My ITA and AOR?
-3- I passed all the stages, including security, info sharing, and criminality. I know that Canada shares some of our info with the US. Since I passed the Canadian background checks, will that help the Americans when they check my background?
Thanks a lot for your usual help!!
1. No, it will not have any impact. However, if you are a Canadian PR, then that is a stronger ground. An application in process has no impact, because it can be rejected too. No decisions can be based on an application that is processing.
2. See 1.
3. No. To read on what info sharing is, see https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/access-information-privacy/privacy-impact-assessment/us-canada-information-sharing-treaty.html
When you file an application, it will be processed as per the procedure.
