Topic: IF Canada PR is in process, Can sombody move from USA???????
Posted by rajiv (7) 20 Feb 2008
Dear All,

Do any one have some idea that if the Canada PR application filled at Buffalo, is in process, then is it must to stay in USA whole time, or we are allowed to go out of USA.

Is there any harm in going out of USA, before getting PR???????

thanks

I dont think there is any harm leaving the US while your application is in process. The only issue you need to consider is that if you are planning to leave the US permanently then you need to provide the Buffalo Visa office with your new address.

I agree, there is no problem doing this. All that matters is you were in the US with at least a 1 year visa when you applied. The only issues are practical: if the address they have for you will no longer work then you need to give them a new (US) address to use. Also, if you are unable to return to the US at all then that would cause a problem if you needed to attend an interview (really really unlikely), and will make it tougher to send in your passport for them to attach the visa (some countries say its illegal to mail your passport out of the country, so I guess you might have to courier it). All in all, however, it's best to leave it in Buffalo because most likely you will save *years* of waiting.

u need not stay in the US while the process is on.It shd not be a permanent move though.U shd keep CIC informed of you change of address.There is no harm in going out of US during the application process.
