Collect my Work Permit later?

[Princescyther]

Hello all

Bit of a weird question this, but I have a work permit waiting for me in Canada but i was wondering if i could go to Canada as a visitor for a couple of weeks and then collect my work permit after? I just thought i would get a feel for the place before i use my time on my work permit?

So say if i arrive on Feb 1st can i collect my permit on Mar 1st?

I hope that makes sense?

Thanks for your help guys.

Yes, but you would have to return to a Border Port of Entry to activate it.  Ensure that you tell the IO on entry that you only are entering as visitor for time being and will activate your WP later.
