Hi all,
Am applying for PR with my wife as Sponsor (Canadian)
Besides, on 4th August we go 10 days on a usual vacation to Calgary to be with parents in law, in the last 8 years have been already 10 times there
I presume that I will get the Decision Made of my Visa Office in July, and positive.
So, they would ask me to send (my country Spain is Visa exempted) the copy of some pages of the Passport, and then they will send to me the COPR.
So as you see for the dates, I would be going to Canada after the issue of the COPR. However this holiday trip is a tourist one. Because we want to do the landing in the end of the year for some professional reasons. (note: the COPR will have limit of February 2017 as per medical report, so there is no rush)
That poses me some questions:
Can I still land in Calgary in August as tourist , once the Paris office has issued a COPR ?
I have somewhere read that if I arrive to the airport , but do not show the COPR, so not making the “landing in Canada” procedures, then the “landing” is not activated
(note: maybe at arrival in the passport inmigration desk they have the info of my COPR in his computer)
Maybe there is another option that is: when I get in July the PR Letter request from the Visa Office to send the pages of my passport, then send them to Paris in the end of August (after returning from holidays in Canada) . Because is there any deadline days to send them to Paris ?
Yes, I somehow weird that having the possibility to “land” already in August, we want to land later, but we need to stay some more months in Spain to make money that make our life easier in Calgary after the real “landing”
Thank you in advance
