Q & A: Official Discretion
Q. I have recently heard from someone that if I show arranged employment on my permanent residence application then the visa officer may decline me the immigration visa and rather offer me a temporary work visa.Has anyone heard or experienced such a thing?
Answer: If you possess the validated offer of permanent employment, and an application for PR is submitted on that basis, an immigration official may not grant a temporary employment authorization instead of considering the PR application on its merits.
