Hi guys,

I am a post grad worker and just received my COPR. Instead of getting an appointment and wait for another month to get PR, I am thinking of flagpoling as I live right on the border. However, I heard that it counts as an administrative refusal to the US, so to avoid that on my records, I am wondering if it's allowed to just visit the US for a few hours on my visitor visa and then return back to Canada?

Or would that create problems/suspicion in the officials' minds when I re-enter Canada in terms of misrepresentation of intentions of visiting US?

Thanks in advance.
 
As long as you have a valid visitor visa - you can visit the US for a few hours and land on your way home.

FYI - administrative refusal isn't counted as a real refusal and has no impact on future entries to the US.

I know but I'd rather not have even an administrative refusal, because you never know with border officials these days.

BTW - do we need to show the Canadian officials any documents while returning besides the COPR and passport?

Thanks so much for the response.
