L1-B Extension in Canada for Canadian Permanent Residency Holders

[suzanne_usa]

Hello Friends,

I am currently working in USA on L1-B Visa. I applied for Canadian PR and got it approved 1 month back. Also got my one-time VISA stamped.
I am planning to go for my L1-B extension in July to Canada with the one-time VISA that I have currently. So I wanted to complete my landing formalities and also go for the L1-B visa extension interview. I wanted to continue to work for 2 more years in US before finally moving to Canada.
I urgently need some guidance if there will be any risks in doing both the landing formalities and L1-B visa extension in the same trip. What are the chances of getting rejected for L1-B extension. And if in any case this can affect my Canadian PR.
Looking forward for some responses. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

No risk on doing both. If L1b extension ( which is very rare in Canada) is rejected then no impact on Canada PR.

Correcting my statement. L1B extension rejection is very rare in Canada but if it happens then it won't impact your PR.

Side question: How much time is L1b extension approval taking these days? I will be applying for my L1B extension very soon.

Thanks again. I am not sure exactly how much time it will take ..but as per the statistics I know that it is 3 Business days to get back the passport, if the visa gets approved.

I was requesting information on I129 approval from USCIS. How much time is USCIS taking in L1B extension petition approval?
