For anyone who may stumble across this: I called up IRCC and asked to confirm that I hold PR status. I asked about crossing land border on foot or private vehicle and was told that it won't be an issue but to bring the virtual landing letter + CoPR + passport. I will have to adhere to whatever...

@armoured - I just checked my emails and found the invitation to the IRCC Client Portal, here is the first paragraph and it explains why my PR card was not automatically issued. "You were landed on 2020/05/04 and you have been a permanent resident in Canada since that date. Our records indicate...

I've heard that before, but maybe things changed with Covid-19 or I fell into a weird gap when they were uncertain of the process. For example, my friend who I moved here with from Ireland submitted his PR application maybe two weeks after I did and got his CoPR a few weeks after I did. I did...

Also, out of curiosity, do you know why it is possible for me to return by land using CoPR+passport but not by a commercial flight?

Thank you for the reply, that's a relief to hear. So to summarize, I will only need my valid passport and paper CoPR? I also got a letter from IRCC stating that my PR has been activated. I wonder why CoPR is not outlined as a valid document here...

Hi All, I got my CoPR on Feb 20 2020 and the expiry date on it is July 21 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic hit a few weeks later and I was unable to schedule a landing interview in Ontario or do a flagpole run, so they automatically activated my PR. I have not left Canada since January 1 2020 (I...
