You can do either. As long as you are the principal applicant, they can come later. It must be before their COPR documents expire, obviously.

They all do their own paperwork. You can't do it before they land. There isn't that much to do at landing anyway.

I guess your Brother just have to wait for the reply of the embassy. His deadline is until next year anyway. He might be requested with additional documentations or medical test of his Wife. Not sure.. but most probably.

Your'e also from the Phils?

I've seen your application trail, it took you 2 years to receive approval or your VISA.. that was fast.

We are waiting for PR Visa as FSW and already submitted our Medicals, just in case it will come out soon and given a year validity of VISA, what is the most preferred month to go to Canada? We planning to seek our luck in Edmonton or Calgary. Do you think we need to consider the winter season? Thanks so much for your input. Mabuhay Kabayan!

Hello buddy

The validity of PR visa is only good for 6 months based on our experience.

The atmosphere during end of year/winter season is a bit lonely and the mood is not upbeat because of the weather wherein 7am the sun is not up up yet and 5 to 6pm is dark already. If you have a family to support you or friends around it will help in your transition. Other thing is during end of year, most organization starting to wrap up and bit relax in the hiring process. But this is not always be the case.

But if you don't have any choice but to leave and settle in, any season will do. The most important thing is to prepare each member of the family to the new environment and always have a support system.

Good luck!

Good luck on your journey to a better life. I am praying for your safe trip and success.
I also received our notice to submit passport (thank you Lord). I guess I will be the first to travel on Nov. 2014 and my wife to follow by January or February 2015. Wish us luck. Take care Kabayan.
