Good day! If anyone can answers my queries that would be very helpful. Thanks!

I live in the philippines and I am currently applying for Permanent Residence under Family class sponsorship visa Manila VO, my sponsor is in canada one of my close relatives. I have done my medicals April of this year, paid RPRF last April, and currently required to submit police clearances. However, I currently have a job offer in Abu dhabi, united arab emirates, and i want to take the job, since my employment prospects in canada are close to zero because i still have to get licensed there as a nurse which will take 1-2 years.

I am hoping that my Visa for permanent residence will be approved, and if it does, i read that the entry visa if valid until a year after my medical, so that is April of next year 2017.

i was wondering if I am already in Abu dhabi when my visa will be approved, will that complicate or invalidate my visa? since i applied from Manila.

also if i am already working in Abu dhabi and still plan on going to canada, what are the procedures when i "Land" and how soon can i go back and continue working in abu dhabi , if it is at all allowed to go out of canada as soon as i "Land"? because i want to retain my possible job there and "move" to canada when i get a job in canada.

thank you very much for helpful answers!

Pre-Assessed..
1. your COPR would have expiration date, you can land before your COPR is expired.

2. you can go back to your work after land, but you need to keep the residence requirement. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=727&top=10

you have to be in Canada physically for 2 years within 5 years.
