Landed Today (October 31st)

You will get credit for this time whether you actually kept the work permit or not; no worries.

Rjessome - I continue to be concerned, b/c I am going to be going to a small town in Pennsylvania for a weekend to celebrate Thanksgiving, so I have no way of getting a travel document (since I won't be in or near a city with a consulate and I will only be there over a holiday weekend, when everything is closed).

I have decided not to land until my series of trips in cancelled - my PR visa doesn't expire until June 2010.  Thanks.

dfb,

It is my understanding from reading posts on this site that you can travel with your COPR as long as you are not traveling by commercial transit. In other words, you can drive your own car, but can't fly. Might want to confirm that with a cll to the visa office.

thanks - my problem is that I am flying - plane tickets purchased long ago!

It is unlikely that the airline will let you board with just your COPR, but you can get a travel document from the local Canadian consular post.

Karlshammar - I am only going home for Thanksgiving - will be in a small town in Pennsylvania for the holiday weekend.  There won't be an opportunity to get a travel document there.

Then I suggest contacting the CIC and/or the consulate/embassy closest to there to find out what to do. You can always take a chance with your COPR at the airline but there are no guarantees there...
