Hello!
I have two valid Canadian visas in my passport: a multiple-entry visitor visa and a single-entry immigration visa that I have just received through Express Entry. I have also found a job in Canada that will start in January 2020, which is when I am planning to do the landing as a permanent resident. In preparation for my relocation, the new employer has offered to fund a short (1 week) house hunting trip to Canada this month so that I could find an apartment for January. Because I will need to return to my home country after this short trip to finish my current job, I would like to know if I will be allowed to use the visitor visa to travel to Canada for a week this month. Does anyone know if a person with two valid visas -- a visitor visa and an immigration visa -- may choose which visa type to use when entering Canada? Or I will be required to use the immigration visa and do the landing when I go to Canada this month, even though the purpose of this trip will be a short visit rather than immigration?
Thank you for your advice!
