Visiting Canada on LPR status for US visa stamping

[crazy_apple]

Hello, I wanted to know if anyone had been through a similar situation.

I got my Canadian PR about a year ago. I went thru the landing process and obtained the PR cards from Toronto about a year back. After that I returned to the US - I work on a H1B here. I have not been to Canada since I got my PR. I need to go to Vancover to get my H1B stamping done. I intend to be in Canada for no more than 2/3 working days and return to the US.

My questions are:

- Will the Canadian immigration officers ask why I am making the trip to Canada?
- Can they revoke the PR status if they deem that I am making the trip solely to get the US stamping done? I dont want to lie about my trip purpose and essentially it is what it is - a trip to get the stamping done.
- Do I need to apply for a travel permit, even though I have the plastic PR cards?

Your input will be appreciated.
Thanks!

- Will the Canadian immigration officers ask why I am making the trip to Canada?

They may or may not. They never asked me why in last 4 years. Usual questions are where you going and where do you live, when did you leave and what did you purchase. But they may ask you why.

- Can they revoke the PR status if they deem that I am making the trip solely to get the US stamping done? I don’t want to lie about my trip purpose and essentially it is what it is - a trip to get the stamping done.

They can’t and won’t revoke your PR. If asked tell them that you still have two more years to permanently settle in Canada and that is your intention. If I were you I wouldn’t lie either.

- Do I need to apply for a travel permit, even though I have the plastic PR cards?

I don’t think you will need that.
