Hi, could anyone answer my question: I'm planning to file Canada immigration. It's going to take about 1 yr.
* YES.
If during this period, I'd like to travel to Canada. Should I check the box of "have you ever filed immi app." on temp? Visa application?
* YES
Will I get temp visa after apply for immi. to Canada?
** 99% you will be refused Visitor Visa after you file your application for Canada immigration, because the Visa officer thinks that you may not return from Canada and you have shown Immigration INTENT
But according to Canada immigration law you have DUAL INTENT and can apply for Visitor Visa even after filing your PR application, Chances are very less that you will get Visitor Visa after filling as PR
What you should do is try to apply Visitor Visa before your Immigration Petition, If the Visitor Visa is granted and you do not visit or visit Canada, it will prove your intent that you did not Visit Canada after getting Visitor Visa or If you visit Canada on Visitor Visa and then came back, It will prove to Visa officer that you had Visa and Visited and Came back or never went to Canada even you had the visa. This is the best option to get Visitor Visa after you file for Immigration Application.
