Visiting Canada before the big move

[LittleBrit]

Hi all,

I'm about to get my permanent residency to Canada (and very excited along with it!)

I have until March 2010 to land and will make the big move at the end of Feb 2010. However before then, I'm planning a few short trips to scope out some areas that I'd like to live in, meet employers etc.

Firstly is this possible? I'll only be going for a week or so. When I do go for these short trips – will I still need to take all my essential documents with me? I won't be taking any household items as I'm not officially moving until next Feb.

I hope someone can help.

Also, after we get PR card, we can stay a maximum 3 years out of canda at a time
