Hi,
I am currently on H1B with no visa stamp. My COPR expires on Aug 6th, so i have to do a soft landing and use AVR to return. But the Canada website says "You should not travel to a port of entry to validate your COPR. This is not considered essential travel and you won’t be able to validate it this way ". My questions are -
1) How are we then able to do soft landing and use AVR if the website says we cannot do it?
2) I am currently changing jobs and my H1B transfer is being premium processed. The approval might come in the next couple of weeks. Will I have my approval notice also soon so i can take the 797 and i94 to do soft landing and return? Or should I take my current H1B documents and go and come back before the transfer is done.
Please advise.
