Hello everyone,
I'm in a situation where I'm currently applying for Permanent Residency (PR) in Canada and need some advice. My application is for the Family Class Common-Law Sponsorship, and it was submitted from outside Canada. The application is currently in the stages of eligibility and background checks.
Here's my main question: Is it possible for me to enter Canada using a travel visa during this period, and then switch to an in-Canada application? I have a valid travel visa, but I'm unsure of the rules and implications regarding entering Canada while my PR application is under review.
Additionally, I'm concerned about how to approach the situation upon entering Canada:

Additionally, I'm concerned about how to approach the situation upon entering Canada:
- Should I declare that I am visiting for tourism purposes, or should I mention that I'm entering to wait for my PR decision?
- If I don't provide accurate information upon entry, and this is discovered later, could it lead to deportation or affect my PR application?
