Hi all: received PPR yesterday (yay!) and just a couple questions:
1. Tried searching but couldn't find an answer - out of curiousity, why do they request 2 photos again (same specifications) when these were included with our original application package? What was the point of getting those done? We will obviously do them again to send, but I'm just wondering what the other 2 were for...
2. The letter we received states "If you are currently residing in Canada and you intend to travel by air to another country prior to becoming a permanent resident, you will be required to apply and obtain an eTA prior to boarding."
I'm a bit confused about what to do here. My partner and I are travelling in 5 weeks and I doubt he'll have his PR card by this point. If we have COPR by then, would that be OK to travel with? Also, my partner is currently in Canada on a work permit.. can we still apply for an eTa from within Canada, and will this mess anything up with the work permit? If we do apply for the ETA, will that mess anything up with him getting his COPR?
Thanks.
