Here is a re-direct for people who have a Visitor Visa but no PR Card, you CAN travel, me and my wife have done it and have written about the experience...

Update on the whole scenario: We did our trip, before we left, we went to ask about what should be done to the border officers at Edmonton International Airport (YEG). They saw the Visitor visa and the PR IM-1 stamped (and cancelled) on the passport. They said that I should not cancel or...

Has anyone who landed in last week of April and card mailed out on 24th June, living in Calgary or Edmonton got their PR Card yet?

You should read other posts before replying, its not a life-death emergency for me but for many others. Also our vacation planning was ruined because of this delay. I hope you get into a situation like this, then you will know.

Vienna is not walk - in for sure, they need appointment in advance, but their processing times are quite fast, some say in 1 day, or same day. I curious to what happened to your application?

Just an update: Some one who works in Canada post said that the strike can go longer. I have confirmed this personally by calling a Canada post supervisor in Edmonton. So don't make travel plans at all if you can. The lockout and disruption can go on for weeks. This doesn't mean they wouldn't...

Not correct, if there is an emergency situation where some one needs to travel, waiting for a PR cards' arrival is quite stupid and low on priority. We have a back up plan of PRTD now but will never use Canada post ever again for anything. I am hoping they go out of business soon.

The worry is because the application of the travel document if subject to processing times, the processing times require you to be without passport since its usually 7-9 days or 2 weeks for some, and that is dangerous and cant hamper flight plans when on strict schedule.

Here is an update, SO, the Canada post tard's are doing there lockout on and off again, on and off. My wife had a Visitor Visa stamp along with the PR Stamp + COPR. The officer told me not to show the COPR and as long as the Visit visa is valid, I won't be denied re-entry into Canada. Further...

You are still a PR as long you are in Canada, regardless of the COPR being dispatched. I had asked this question to a Border Immigration officer and she said that the status is internally noted as PR by the UCI number. Hence you are not illegal just because you don't have a PR card in hand. COPR...

They didn't ask a re-submit of photo, because I had bought the larger sized photo with me, I just gave them what I had during immigration (1st entry in canada as PR). I have already been in Canada via a Visitor visa earlier.

I have been talking to a supervisor from Canada post regarding this issue. They said, they only move letters on weekends, they only deliver on weekdays. The service wont be interrupted but it was slowed down because of the past week of CUPW/Canada post negotiations. I had unfortunately...

Absolutely, I am not denying that. I don't want to misrepresent, but if now I have limited choices and I dont know who to get a PR quickly.

Do have the COPR, it has bold print "Cannot be used for travel" across it. :/

No the Visit visa isn't cancelled. I don't know why it isnt. But the IM-1 single entry visa to for PR entry is cancelled. They are two pages with similar looking Visa's one being the PR and other the Visitors.
