Landing Question

[shmuhahaha]

Hi All,

I work in the US and I sponsored my wife during her immigration process and she got her PR visa in February valid till her medicals expire. In one of the sponsorship questions, I indicated my willingness to move back to Canada once my wife lands in Canada. I still have a job in the U.S and I don't have any luck in getting my desired job in Canada(2 telephone interviews so far and thats it).

My question is :
Can she land in Canada right now and comeback and stay with me in the U.S next three months(I hope I'd get a job in Ontario Canada within that time frame) and our whole family can move back to Ontario once I get a job in Canada?
I've seen few friends from Skilled worker category doing that. Will it be any different since we are in the family sponsorship category?
My concern is that the immigration officer would ask us to settle in Canada immediately upon our arrival, since I'v e mentioned on her sponsorship form that I'll move with her.
We are planning to indicate to the officer about our plans if he/she asks for detail.

or If the officer indicates that she has to settle in Canada immediately, I'm planning to send my family to stay at my sister's place in Ontario and I'll commute from the U.S every week till I find a job in Ontario.


Please advise!

I landed a month ago and won't be moving to Canada until the summer.

The officer at the port of entry volunteered the fact that I had time to get my affairs in order in the U.S., as long as the 2-in-5 rule was met.

I don't think you're going to have a problem.

It is absolutely OK, she just should make sure that when she applies for the PR card she writes the address where you'll be residing at that time =).
Another thing is that she has to have the PR card to come back to Canada (if she is not from the visa exempt country), but you said 3 months, so she should get it by then anyway.

Hope this helps, Raccoon.

PS: I asked my boyfriend (or as he is now called "my common law spouse" =)), he landed two years ago.
