Hi there, I got a situation here hope someone can help to answer.
I am a Canadian Citizen and my wife just got her PR approved and received the letter, we originally planned to go to Canada in Feb for 3 weeks as a visitor and come back to Hong Kong where we currently lived in.
Now since her PR status is approved, not sure if she can apply ETA anymore, I have experienced this before when my father was a PR long time ago and he could not get a ETA, and he ended up applied for a PRTD to travel to Canada.
Here is the tricky part where I am not sure whether it will be a problem, for the trip we already planned in Feb, we will be traveling from Hong Kong to Vancouver and connect to Calgary to meet my friends, then goes to Chicago (my wife already has a US visa) for a few days, and finally to Toronto for a week and back to Hong Kong.
Q1 Can my wife still apply for a ETA as a tourist to enter Canada?
Q2. Can my wife use her PR letter to enter Vancouver (onward to Calgary) when the letter stated "Toronto" as the city we intended to live in.
Q3. If we can enter Vancouver as well as Calgary I believe since it's domestic flight, and then leave Canada to Chicago, will there be a problem when we enter Canada again in Toronto from Chicago? I heard that the PR letter can only be used once, and my wife should apply for a PR card once she is in Canada, but I don't we could complete this in just 3 weeks.
Q4. If we could make the trip as planned using her PR letter to travel (Hong Kong - Vancouver - Calgary - Chicago - Toronto- Hong Kong), will there be another issue when we immigrate to Toronto in Apr? If the PR letter can only be used once, does she needs to apply for PRTD in Hong Kong in order to travel back to Canada to apply for a PR card.
Sorry for so many questions...I hope someone can help on this complex situation..
Million Thanks!
Howie
