Hello, my husband and I are applying for him to immigrate to Canada from England with me being the sponsor
and we've filled out the forms fine so far. We've been told before that he can visit while the application is going through
and he is still currently visiting, but while double checking through the guide we saw this part in it that worries us:
'What happens when you arrive in Canada
When you arrive, you must present your permanent resident visa to a Canadian customs or immigration officer at your first port of entry. The officer will check your visa and travel documents and ask you questions similar to those on the Application for Permanent Residence to verify that you are of good character and in good health. If there are no difficulties, the officer will authorize your admission to Canada as a permanent resident and ask you to sign in his or her presence the Confirmation of Permanent Residence form you will have received from the visa office. The officer will then send this form to a processing centre and you will receive your Permanent Resident Card in the weeks following. Make sure that when you arrive in Canada, you know the address, including the postal code, where you are going to live.' - taken from cic.gc. ca website
we were hoping that he could receive his permanent residence visa without having to leave the country, is there a way we can do this or does he have to go back to England and return to Canada with the visa?
