Hello,

I just passed medical exam and it’s time to think about things after landing .I have a question regarding the timing of job hunting. Am I considered as PR holder right after landing but before getting the PR card? The reason why I am asking is because I am not sure if from employer perspective, I am a PR holder right after landing so they can interview and hire me as a normal PR holder? Or I have to wait till getting the actual card then get the job hunting started.

Thanks for the input!

Yes - you are considered to be a PR as soon as you land. You don't have to have your PR card.

You need to apply for a SIN in order for the employer to be able to hire you. You can do this as soon as you land.
