Hi Dr Naidu. Please also be aware of Secondary Review (SR) - http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/need-some-clarity-on-pr-renewal-and-the-so-called-secondary-review-t452569.0.html
and http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/email-from-cic-that-pr-card-renewal-needs-secondary-review-t251571.0.html

I would advise that you enter Canada using your COPR by road from USA. There is no need for PRTD in that case. And do it ASAP, since you are a strong candidate for SR.

Thanks for the reply my friend? but COPR says not valid for travel on the document as a water mark on the paper. So what can I do now? is everybody COPR says the same? and I am telling you that March 6th 2014 was my date of entry in Canada And came back by April 9th 2014 , and never been there, so what is my current position ? and how many days I need to stay there to retain PR status with out secondary review ?

Please do more reading on the forum about COPR being sufficient for entry by road and the threads I have provided.

It is not valid for Travel by flight. It is still acceptable if you travel by road.

I will start the last 2 years of my 5 year PR very soon. I wouldn't prefer to move to Canada at the very last moment since I would be forced to remain there non-stop to maintain my eligibility. I was thinking about making short trips to Canada and accrue some days there before the actual move. I'm sure this must have been asked by someone before, but do you think its a good idea?

If yes, where are the entry/exit dates recorded? The passport is not stamped and only the PR card gets scanned in the airport. Do the authorities know our entry/exit dates? Or do I need to record these myself and present when the time comes for PR extension? Does this make me a candidate for secondary review?
