Dual Intent
The
concurrent intent to be a visitor and an immigrant is referred to as
dual intent. According
to the Canadian Immigration Selection and Control manual which
immigration officers are legally bound to adhere to, an individual who
has applied for Canadian permanent residence (PR) is subject to the same
requirements as others when seeking entry into Canada as a visitor. The
individual should therefore possess reasonable purposes for entry and
should understand that he or she must leave Canada in order to receive
the immigrant visa.
The
implications for this vary with an individual's place of residence. For
countries where residents enjoy relatively easy flow across Canadian
borders, PR applicants may utilize the ease of entry in order to better
acquaint themselves with their intended destination. Those residing in
regions that do not enjoy this benefit will not necessarily suffer in
their PR application, however. A
non-immigrant application may be more closely scrutinized in the
presence of a concurrent immigration application, as there is an
apparent tendency to immigrate. If the ties of the applicant to his/her
home can be demonstrated, however, such an application may succeed. The
presence of a non-immigrant application should have no effect on an
immigration application. |
