Hi

I'm a US entrepreneur looking to do a startup in BC next year. I would like to go on an exploratory trip to meet with lawyers and immigration attorneys to start the PR application.

However, what do I tell customs, given that I would initially be entering as a visitor? (Given that visitors are required to demonstrate proof they intend to leave)

That seems confusing to me, because based on the outcome of the PR application (yet to be filed) I may be staying over 6 months. Obviously I will be honest, but maybe oversharing details will create more questions and hassles at the border?

Thanks for any advice
