Not sure if any of you guys are familiar with this subject but I thought I would throw it out there.
I got my PPR today and sent my passport to Ottawa.
My work permit was expired and I couldn't extend it so I was staying in Canada as a visitor while I was waiting for my PR.
My previous employer was nice enough and told me I could come back to work with them once my visa issue was resolved.
Today I let them know I got my PPR but obviously not Copr yet.
The question is, they want to sign me up ASAP and give me a signing bonus.
I wanted to take some time off and leave Canada for a month on a vacation before I go back to work, but I could really use that signing bonus right now (since I've stayed here as a visitor for last few months, I was burning thru my savings)
Is it legal for me to accept the signing bonus before my CoPR as a visitor status or Do I have to wait till I get my CoPR?
