In the end of 2021, I was in the pool for Express Entry for the immigration process, but as there was no draws conducted at the time, I have requested for a Temporary Visit Visa as I wanted to visit a friend.
I got a refusal for the touristic visa request and the reason was "We are not convinced you are going back to your home country". I assumed that the reason was because I had an on going immigration request.
Now, I am in the same situation, I have a request for Temporary Visit Visa that is on going, and I want to make a new request for the Express Entry. But I am hesitating whether I have to first wait for the touristic visa response (Processing Time is unclear and not fixed), or if I should just create my Express Entry profile.
