TJ2010 said:if i have a valid US visa I obtained from Nigeria, can I visit US for a conference after I have landed in canada before arrival of PR card. will I not need travel document, can i get one fast from US to return back to canada. Pls advise, i can wait for 40 days before going for the conference.
Hi TJ2010, If you have a US visa, you can travel to US, but the challenge you have is getting back to Canada since your PR Card is not yet out.Two options open to you are 1. Wait for your PR Card to come out before embarking on the US trip.or 2. Arrange for your PR Card to be mailed to you in US when the Card becomes available. The second option may sound a bit risky because if for any reason there is some corrections that needs to be made that requires your physical presence, that may pose a challenge. I have a friend that landed and waited for his PR Card for about 6 weeks and it did not come even as his family members all got theirs except himself and his first son. He was anxious to return to Nigeria to close a deal and was making arrangement with his wife to have the PR Card mailed to him when its out. I advised him to wait a little more. You know what he agreed and after another 2 weeks, they called him to tell him that the picture he submitted for himself and son has a bad resolution and that they will require new pictures. Can you imagine if he had left without the PR card. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
