Short landing

[Dreams1985]

Hi Dear Asivad and all experts.

I am planning to do short landing in Canada in September 2016 for two weeks and then doing permanent landing only in April 2017.

Will there be any risk in future if I renew my PR card or apply citizenship as I will be wasting around 6-8 months outside Canada after doing short landing in sept 2016.

Please advise

Thanks.

No problem. From the minute you land, you have total right to leave Canada and come back anytime you want as long as PR status is valid.

However you will need your PR card when you come back from home. Or else you will need to get PRTD.

Hi all !

I am all ready to land in canada mid sep. i have a small doubt regarding my wife visa.

I am an Indian citizen and wife is Singaporean.
I received my passport with canada stamp along with COPR, while my wife received only CORP, when i check with VFS they said , singapore passport comes under visa exempted. now i have a question for her visa.
CIC says visa exepted PP need e-TA but they have a note says , untill sep 29, foreign national can enter it wihtout eTA

can you advise what i suppose to do? my flight is on 17 Sep.. do i apply e-TA or not? its only cosy CAD 7 though ..

also they said PR guys cant apply eTA, are we consider Canadian PR before we land ?

Clearly, since you are flying on 17 , before 29 Sep, you don't need eta as it says.

You are considered pr officially, once you finish your landing procedure.
