@Mandy

I do not see a reason why you should face any problem at the POE. Just be honest... at least you do not need to appear for a tourist visa which is the biggest hurdle before you visit the country..chances of rejection are more than 95%... I envy you for that... ;) ;) :)

Thanks Awor, do you think its best to just say your visiting your hubby, or that you have a PR application in and would like to visit while it goes through, only seen some different things that people have said at the border, didnt know if it would be classed as misrepresentation if you wasnt honest straight up? :-\
I wouldn't necessarily volunteer the PR application information. With your return ticket and ties to home, there's no need for them to know that. For me, I'm asking to stay til PR with very limited ties to home (basically just my stuff in storage) so in my case, it's needed.

Mandy, I suggest printing a bank statement or something to show that you have enough money to sustain yourself without taking illegal work while you are a tourist in Canada. I've been here as a tourist for more than a year and a half now and I consider a printout of my bank statement essential when crossing the border at this point. Other than that I recommend being honest, but like andreuk said not offer up any unnecessary info. Good luck and don't be scared if they make you go through the separate immigration line :)

thanks, my hubby is going to eb with me, he has a fulltime job in Canada so Im hoping that will surfice as I rely on him to send me money over. My hubby wants to say that he wants me to visit while my PR application is going through and then let them ask questions. So i think thats what we are going to do. thanks for all the advice everyone, I will let you know how i get on :)

We got AOR from Berlin today. Kind of a useless email because we knew that CIC received our application on July 26.

But I guess any communication is good! Haha.

I just checked my status online and this is what it said.
We received your application to sponsor My hubby's name on September 28, 2011.

We started processing your application on October 19, 2011. :eek:

Anyone else get this? If they started it does anyone know how long it will take? I almost fell out of my chair when I saw it!!!
