My answers below,Hi,
My husband and I got our express entry PR approval recently. We are expecting to get our passports in two days. My husband was the main applicant and I am the dependent.We want to do flagpoling and I have some questions
1. My BOWP was refused 5 days after my PR approval. I do not have any valid status right now in Canada. Can I flagpole with expired open work permit?
2. Should I apply for restoration of status/ Or that will be waste of money?
2. Do they ask to show address proof only for primary applicant or both? My husband is living in Ontario while I am living in Quebec because of work. Will it create a problem?
Thank you in advance.
1. As long as you have COPR which i assume you have , the passport will be stamped with a IM-1 (Immigrant 1 ) VISA which is valid for 1 time entry into Canada, so no , you do not need a valid TRV (temp VISA) or work permit when you do the flag polling after getting the IM-1 VISA, to comfort you more, i did not have one either, i was inland with a expired visa and wp when i did flag polling, i only had IM-1 and COPR with me
2. No, explanation above
3. No, you are expected to stay with your spouse on the same address.
Few pointers, do no land in Quebec (or flag pole there). Land in Ontario, then move to Quebec if you want.
