Finally got my passport stamped from New York VFS and CoPR on hand! With Covid and travel restriction and everything, it's been almost 3 years since I first entered my profile in the pool in early 2019! So don't lose hope, live your life and everything will come around!
So my question is: I have a visitor visa on my passport valid until 2027, and of course the one-time immigrant visa valid until Dec 2022 in the same passport. I have a trip to Canada next month but I don't intent to settle yet and will return in about a week. Can I still enter with my visitor visa and a temporary resident and not officially "land"? I will certainly land at some point later in the year, but don't want the residency clock to start ticking already. Searching from older posts this seems fine and people have done it, but most data points were prior 2018. Not sure if this is still the case now. Appreciate your advice! Thanks!
