Hello everyone :)
My husband and I recently put in our application for him to sponsor me for permanent residency (he's a Canadian citizen and I am a U.S citizen). I am currently visiting him in Canada now and we are planning to go to the states together for a week for a vacation at the end of July. My question is, would we have any problems crossing the boarder going back into Canada? We will be driving, he has a Canadian passport and I have a U.S passport. Any advice and help is greatly appreciated :)

Anyone can have problems trying to go back to Canada after just leaving.

You need to give more details of your visit and specifics. There is no generic answer to what you are asking.

Hi

You should be fine. Remember that you are not yet "living" in Canada; you are just visiting with your husband while the PR app processes. Carry proof of the PR app (fee receipt or sponsor approval if you have it by then) and proof of finances (bank statements or your husband's payslips). And don't bring a whole ton of stuff back with you; just have your standard couple of bags.
