H1B stamping and canada PR

[Bina5]

Hi,

i have my h1b picked and approved for the very first time. But i did not get my stamping done. Mean while my canada PR got approved. 1) So can i send my passport to canada for stamping ( becuase it is out of US and with our h1b stamping can we send passport to canada(other country) for stamping)

2) Also is it mandatory to send passport to canada or we can get it stamped with in US at any VAC and get the coPR?

Have you received Canadian PR Visa (IM1) and COPR document already? You will receive an email to do that. If you are currently residing in the US, and your application is being processing Ottawa or some other Canadian office, then they will ask you to send the passport to those offices. You can certainly send the passport to Ottawa and receive it back in the US.

H1B Visa application is a completely separate process. What is commonly known as H1B 'stamping' is actually an application for US Visa. You need to make this application at any US consulate outside of the US. It cannot be made inside US. The application has to be made in person and requires an interview.

Actually my question is, can i send passport to canadian office from US for stamping to receive copr. The reason i ask is, since my h1 stamping is not yet done can the passport be sent out of the country?? If i send it will it have any impact on my h1 in future?

Sending passport out of Canada shouldn’t have any impact on H1B. Your passport will be in a sealed envelope. Nobody checks them while they are in transit. On other side USCIS doesn’t care about your Canadian PR in terms of H1B.

My wife is in similar situation. Our passports are in route back from Ottawa to US.
You should be fine.

I have COPR (Canada visa stamped on my PP), I am in India and my H1b petition is approved. I have to appear for the interview in Visa consulate in India.
Having Canada visa stamped on pp have any impact ? It is my back up, knowing situation in the US, but what is the politically correct answer, if there is any question during iv?

One has nothing to do with the other. Canada is where you planning to migrate in future and USA is where you are planning to work now. Be honest if asked. Shouldn’t be any problem.

You need to fill the DS-160 form to any US visas. But you can attend to the interviews in any US consulates in Canada.

1) Can anyone tell me, What documents do i need to carry for PR or show the immigration officer apart from funds?
2)when i land in canada, what questions do the immigartion officers usually ask? also should i tell them i am here for h1b stamping as well?
3) For someone travelling alone and for the first time to canada which would be a best place to land to get h1b stamping done as well?

How long did it take for the return after you submitted your passports for Canada visa? I send out my passport last week & the return package is still not activated.
