Hi All,

I am an Australian citizen and planning to file an Express Entry application for immigrating to Canada. Since I am an Australian citizen so it's easy for me to travel without a tourist visa but since Mar 2016 I need to apply ESTA so there were few questions since I might travel to Canada to meet my family.

1. Is it better to apply for ESTA before I submit my application with CIC or it doesn't matter when I apply for ESTA?
2. Once I have submitted my application should I travel or is it not advisable to travel?
3. My wife might be able to secure a job in Canada in between our application is in process. So can I apply for OWP even though my immigration application is in process? If yes, then once we both are in Canada then will it affect in any way our application?
4. If we are working in Canada on Work Permit and our application for immigration gets approved then do we need to go out of Canada and then come back or it doesn't matter?

Thanks in advance!!
