visits and PR

[job_seeker]

Note that Leon is responding to the Original Poster. You could have started your own thread if you did not want to read all the "exchanges" between the OP and other members. Anyway, there is another member who was able to come here and take the CRNE with a permanent residency application in process and she was able to get LMO too so that is good news. Explore dual intent. You have applied for permanent residency so for all intents and purposes you want to come to Canada and live here but for now you are applying for a TRV which is temporary in nature (the two being quite contradictory). Attach a cover letter explaining your purpose for the the TRV and that you will leave as soon as the purpose of your temporary stay in Canada is finished and done with precisely because you have a permanent residency application in process and you do not want to jeopardize the result of that application.

Hi!...I hope those who have shared comments, advices on this thread wouldn't mind me asking this question. I just thought that this thread is addressed on Visit and PR.

Anyway, I need to hear advices from the experts..the situation is..I have a pending PR application awaiting for my 2nd AOR from Manila VO. I've sent my FD on January 19,2011. But on May 2011 I am planning to go to Canada on visit visa to take CRNE and I will apply this visa here in Riyadh,KSA. Do you think this visit visa will not affect my PR application? I'm worried might the Consul think that I will overstay in Canada since I have ongoing PR application. And if in the event I will be rejected for visit visa, will this give a negative impact on my PR application? What do you think?
