Yes, you can travel outside canada without PR card but to come back, you need to have PRTD document which is basically for PR candidates who don’t have their PR card. You can apply it when you get to your country.

Oh okay thanks! How about if you already confirmed that you are in Canada and waiting for ECOPR but took too long and you already need to travel abroad. Is it still legal?

You will get an individual email for each applicant with subject:
PR Portal (PR confirmation) - eCoPR Available for Download | Portail RP (confirmation RP) - CRPe prête à être téléchargée
Then followed by another round of emails for each applicant with subject:
Congratulations! You are now a permanent resident of Canada! Félicitations! Vous êtes désormais résident permanent du Canada!
So what you are saying is, if IRCC issues the COPR While I am traveling outside of the country (I never told them) it is immediately held? Because I am outside of Canada? Plus, I would be allowed thereafter to re-enter canada on my TRV and work permit. And then somehow inform IRCC that I am back in canada (when I never told them I was out to begin with) that I need the hold removed.
This is the first time I am hearing this line of argument. If you have proof of this somewhere I would love to read it.
That's not true. IRCC does not "hold" eCOPRs. It won't matter if you're inside or outside Canada, you will get your eCOPR. However, the difference is in terms of "Returning to Canada." If you're outside Canada, you'll have to apply for a PRTD and enter Canada before your eCOPR expires (Note that eCOPR cannot be extended - so you'll have to apply and get the PRTD, and travel to Canada before that). The PoE immigration officer will mainly look for 3 things: Valid passport, COPR, and PRTD. Post this, based on your mailing address the PR card process will follow.
Now this PRTD is the catch here, the processing times are hugely random and there's no assurance that you'll get it in time. That's the reason why most of the eCOPR recipients tend to NOT travel outside Canada to avoid all this hassle (we all can agree on how bad we want to avoid going back to IRCC). All the aforementioned info can be found here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...anada/express-entry/application-approved.html
What I know is that, the TRV is invalid If the IRCC issues COPR. So Basicaly if you are outide Camanada and then IRCC issues the COPR, You cannot enter with TRV. It can be easily tracked as UCI number remains same for TRV and PR applications. You cannot hide it.
You need PRTD to enter into Canada without PR card after issueing the COPR.

Hi All,
Hoping you can help here regarding PR Portal email response.
1) Original Entry Date- is this the date you entered Canada on your current status (e. g on work permit)? Or is this the first time you entered Canada regardless of status. E.g. I entered on visitor visa years before coming on work permit. Which date should I put?
2) When replying to email- did you change the subject of email or include the visa office info? I replied few business days back but have not received credentials yet. I just copied and pasted the questions that were asked and answered them. Wonder if I am missing something.
Thank you in advance

1) The first ever time you entered Canada regardless of status.
2) Don’t worry, I did the same. I just did reply all and copy pasted the questions and answered next to the questions.
The time for portal credentials vary from person to person from visa office to office. As long as you have replied back with the information with the answers to the questions, you will get the credentials. It took me over a month just to get credentials. Frustrating but can’t help it . Hope this helps ! Good Luck!
