Hello we are waiting for PR result but it is taking a long time. We are thinking of packing everything up here and spending a few months in Mexico. If we get PR would we be able to go to Canada from Mexico even though we applied from UK?

Which PR route and what is your current status in Canada?

Hello i got a provincial nomination and applied through express entry. Currently no status in Canada and live in England. Many thanks

Oh, I assume you lived in Canada. What stage are you at and which province? If you've already been nominated then is moving on a work permit not an option?

hello yes could do that but currently wait time is 9 months for work permit. Would i be allowed to enter Canada from Mexico if i get PR even though i applied from England and then went on extended holiday to Mexico?

And as above - what stage are you at (i.e. how long ago did you submit the PR app), and which province/stream of the PNP?

I'm just wondering why the work permit isn't an option if you want to get there asap (applying at the airport when you arrive, not via a visa office), and also the answers above will have a bearing on whether you can wait in Mexico for the rest of the process.

hi i wasnt aware that if I got a provincial nomination for Alberta that I could apply for work permit at the airport and just come over? I am being guided by my employer in alberta and they are a bit vague. I applied under skilled worker as I am a MH Nurse and have a job offer. I thought as I have applied for PR I have to wait until I get an answer? I applied in Aug 23 and have done biometrics and medical just waiting to hear

OK, do you mean the EE Stream? If so, then yes, you can get a work permit if you have a letter of support. No need to wait for PR at all. https://www.alberta.ca/aaip-alberta-...ed#jumplinks-2
