Can I use my Multiple Entry Visitor Visa when I have COPR for job interview?

1. Yes, you can use your TRV to visit and attend job interviews. Just tell the CBSA officer (if asked) it is your intention to "land" at a later time. Just ensure that you "land" before your COPR expires.

Hello PMM,

I recently communicated with the Canadian Consulate General in New York and received following answer which seconds to yours.

Dear Sir/Madam,

You may use the Canadian Temporary Resident VISA (TRV) to visit Canada prior to landing. Advise the Port of Entry officer that you are entering Canada only as a visitor and that you do intend to land prior to the expiry of the immigrant visa.
