Hi everyone,

Hope someone can help,

I applied for a PR application from outside canada 4 months ago, and a month ago i applied for a visitor visa to visit my wife while processing my PR application (since it takes time) and i was granted a 4 years multiple entry visa.

1- is it possible to transfer my application from the country where i applied, to the visa office in canada and continue processing it there while im in the country?

2- what happens if i went to canada as a visitor and while im there my pr application got approved? Will i be able to stay there? Or i need to go back to the country where i applied for it? Or any other country and go back to canada?

Apprecite your help guys,

Thank you so much,
Ali

No, you cannot transfer it to Canada.

If you are approved, you don't need to return to your home country, but at some point they will request your passport and some countries do not permit their passports to cross international borders by mail.

did you have to do anything special to get a multiple entry? we just applied for a TRV for my husband to visit with me in Canada...would sure be nice if we didn't have to go through the process over and over again...although I will be very grateful if he even gets the TRV because last year he was refused (before we applied for PRV)....hopefully now that we've applied for PRV they will feel more comfortable granting him a TRV (he will stay and work in UAE while his application is being processed and I'm here with him while we wait

Nothing special dear, just applied for a 2 months vacation to visit my wife and her family without mentioning or requesting any type of visa.

I believe they stopped granting single entries, i read about it in cic website.

Well if you are in Canada as a visitor, and the outland processing VO requests your passport (to put the counterfoil in it), what were you planning to do? Take your passport to your home country personally? Assuming your home country is the processing VO.

Oh well, i live in Kuwait and the nearest visa office is in UAE, last month they requested my passport to stamp the visiting visa, and i sent it by mail with vfs global, so when they request it for the PR application i will mail it again to abu dhabi.

If thats what u mean.

When they ask for your passport for permanent residence visa, you will have the option to send it to ottawa VO. This way the passport will stay within canada.
So don't worry about anything, Enjoy your life ahead in Canada. Good luck.
