Must I move to Canada right away??

[Lyse]

Is there a time limit as to how soon I have to move to Canada, if I get approved to be sponsored??
I'm just wondering because to me it doesn't make much sense if I have "affairs to settle" first, and I don't know how long the process for being approved could take anyway. I just worry how I can make everything work out.
I hope any of you know :/.

You must land before your visa/COPR expire. You can return to your home country to wrap things up before moving to Canada.

If you are not visa-exempt, then you will have to wait for the PR card or apply for a PRTD at your embassy in order to return.

Sorry, I'm not entirely sure what you mean with my visa expiring or "COPR". I'm visa exempt, yes. I usually just visit within a 6 month time limit.

I don't currently stay in Canada, but in my home country, so I'm wondering if I did get approved to be sponsored by my husband if then Canada would require I move permanently right away.

When your PR application is approved you will be given a visa/COPR that you must use to "land" (i.e. arrive) in Canada and officially become a PR. This visa will have an expiry date. You must arrive in Canada before that expiry date. You can leave immediately afterwards.

Alright, thank you so much for clearing it up for me!
