Hi all

This may sound like a daft question, but if,once you are fortunate enough to get PR and have your passports stamped etc, is it possible to just visit (for jobhunting trips etc) without officially 'landing'?

Given that you have a year to take up your PR, one would presume that this was possible, but you never know....

Also, is it be possible for the family to travel separately from the principle applicant. ie husband goes alone initially to try and find work and family follows on a bit later. How does that work re 'landing'?

Your expert opinions please!

I doubt u can 'visit' without actually landing!! i mean once u will land there, u will have to pass the immigration check and if u have a immigrant visa, they will obviously get u as a PR.
on the other hand, u can land as a principal applicant and ur dependants can follow
