Hi all

Hope y'all having a amazing day!
Can I come to Canada as a visitor and submit my HCCP application inside Canada and stay during my application process?

Many thanks

It will likely take over a year to get approved if you are approved so no you are unlikely to be able to visit Canada for that length of time. Do you already have a TRV and proof that you have significant savings and you could support yourself without working using savings for over a year? Even if you have a TRV you would only be able to visit Canada for a maximum of 6 months and you may have difficulty extending your status longer than that unless you have significant savings and can show that you don’t need to work.
