Hi, I'm a New Zealand citizen travelling on an New Zealand passport, wanting to enter into Canada as a Visitor. I have a pending work permit application for Canada that will not be processed until after my arrival in Canada (01/20/14). I will be departing from the USA, where I have been staying for 90 days under the visa waiver program. I plan to make a day trip back to the USA to get my work permit issued at a Canadian port of entry.
My main problem is that my proof of onward travel is a ticket to Iceland in September. This is fine for the one year allotment i get with the work permit, but it is outside of the 6 month allotment i get as a visitor. Will this be a problem at immigration?
I am staying with family in Toronto initially and then going on to find work in Vancouver, so not actually abusing the system but it might appear that way? I dont know.
Thanks for your time,
Nick
