Just wondering if it is possible to stay in Canada as a visitor (up to 6 mos) after submitting your skilled worker PR application? Can you tell immigration at the border that you have applied or would they deny you access and just tell you to go back and wait in the US (I'm a US citizen).
 
If they believe you are not intending to overstay (showing up with a U-haul packed with your stuff obviously a bad idea), then it should not be a big deal. You can tell them you applied for PR and you want to visit Canada and get to know it a bit better.
 
having a return ticket handy will be just great on entry... if there's space, you may mention that on the application as well..
