Dear
@legalfalcon
I hope it's okay to ask for your advice. Here are the facts:
Express Entry -FSW Application
AOR AUG 2019 (24 months and counting)
Eligibility-Recommeded Passed
Outland Based- Philippines
Prinicipal Applicant is not a US Citizen but with US TOURIST VISA
Dependent (Wife) is a US Citizen
Child is not a US Citizen
We are considering relocating to the US to help expedite our application since we noticed outland EE US based are being processed. my question is:
1) what qualifies an application to be considered relocated to another country? If my wife (who is US Citizen) moves to the US and I accompany her with a US tourist visa, can it qualify as a relocation? or do I need to have a work permit visa or a US green card to consider my application relocated to the US?
2) Given I only have a US tourist visa but my wife is a US citizen, can we wait for and have our PPR/COPR processed in the US?
3) What documents are asked if we advise that we have relocated to the US?
3) Can I inform Canada Immigration that I have relocated because my wife is a US citizen and I have a US tourist Visa?
4) Will my application be considered a US based application?
6) When my papers do move and I am in the US, can we do PPR/COPR in the US and not in my home country?
Thank you for your time and appreciate all your help.
1. Under the immigration law, IRCC does not differentiate between inland or outland applications. Based on your country of residence IRCC may have a different process to send COPR or may have priority processing. If you move to another country, you have to send a webform and inform IRCC of your new address.
2. YEs.
3. No document is required. Just a web form with your new address.
