Travel with CANADA WP

[hemanth1983]

I have a Canada WP and i am currently in India. Also i have a US B1 VISA.

My company wanted me to travel to US for transition (Reqs gathering) using my B1 visa for 4 weeks and then I will be going to CANADA office working for long term.

My CANADA WP is valid till Sep 2014; Out of the below 2 options which one is risk free.
1. Travel to US from India with my B1 and then enter CANADA
2. Travel to CANADA, immigrate into CANADA and then travel to US..

I heard someone saying that if you are traveling to US from CANADA, the US immigrations will be over in CANADA itself.

Thanks..

1.) There is a possibility that you can enter Canada if you are coming from the US. However, it is at the IO's discretionary to allow you entry or not.
2.) Travel to Canada and immigrate will take an average of 12 months assuming you will be eligible as you enter.
Good Luck!
