I've accepted a job that is scheduled to begin on August 1, 2009. My employers-to-be are working on securing the work permit (I'm pretty sure I'm their first since the regulations changed
). I would like to arrive on/around July 1, just to get settled in before the job actually starts. Can anyone tell me if I will be allowed a visa to travel before my job actually starts? I have more than enough funds to live off of for that month.
I'm sorry if this question has a really obvious answer--I have tried looking around, but I just can't find anything that really answers my question clearly!
