Dear Forum members,

I received my passports with visa on 16th March. My company wants to retain me and are offering me a position in US on L1 visa. Unfortunately, they don't have one in Canada at the moment. My question is if application for L1 visa affect my PR in Canada?
In case my L1 visa is processed, I plan to go to US first, stay there for few months and then do the landing in Canada to confirm my PR.
That is perfectly fine....Just go ahead and grab the L1. You could be the 1st one to setup your companies base in canada :p

Hi All, I want to know if the ECAS status changes to DECISION MADE or the PPR mail comes first.

Cheers,
Prarthu
Buddy...their is no preset rule. It depends on your case...either of them can come first. But generally we have observed that for most cases they come in very short interval of each other
