How Does Conditional PR Affect Me?

Condition 51 is really only an issue if the relationship breaks down and the couple separates and CIC is informed of this.

Agree 100% with Keesio. Some have suggested that CIC will follow-up with you to see of you are living together, and I believe at least member has reported here that they did. But they did that (as I recall) to a couple that they 'suspected' of having an MOC from the beginning. So long as you're together after 2 years, I think you're "good".

But "no", you won't be told officially until you see your COPR documents, as mentioned already. And IMHO, "asking" that question 'officially' would only raise eyebrows to look your way.

I have been in a relationship with my husband since 2009, married since October 2013. No kids, and the conditional PR was on my husbands COPR. Not that it really matters at all, I mean you're going to be with them for 2 years after they land anyway, so what's the big deal?

The only "issue" would be that it would be nice to be able to continue to work here in the states (no more than a few months after being accepted) while I look for employment in Canada. It makes me a little uncomfortable leaving my current employment in the states to immediately move to Canada with nothing lined up for me. Obviously, my wife would have no issue supporting me during that time if I needed her to. But if there is a way I can continue to work and save money while I look for employment in Canada, that would be ideal. Judging by the responses this appears to be a unusual/uncommon hope for me to have. In my eyes this just seems like the responsible thing to do. I am not a HUGE risk taker, and going to Canada BEFORE I have work lined up is a risk I would rather not be forced to take. Now if I am accepted and my landing date isn't for 2+ months, then this probably isn't really a concern. My concern is more if I am accepted and my landing date is in 1-2 weeks, I would love for me to be able to land, and then TEMPORARILY return to the US to continue working until I find work in Canada.

Thanks for the information guys.

Technically staying to work in US by yourself for several months after landing would be in violation of condition 51 cohabitation rules.

But realistically, I really don't think CIC would care in this case. And if they did it's easily explainable as to the reason.
