Hi all,

I received my COPR a few months ago (outland application) and will be flying to Canada next month. With the ongoing pandemic will I have any issues entering? I am double vaxxed and have proof that I will upload to the ArriveCAN app. My question is, will Canada allow those with COPRs to enter during these times?

Also, I've noticed that my COPR letter has a "NOT VALID FOR TRAVEL" label across it. Will this affect anything?

Thanks!

No issues as long as you follow all of the COVID testing protocols required for your journey.

Just to add - I assume this is the first time you are entering Canada with your COPR. If it is not, that's critical to mention.

You have to enter by land either by peivate vehicle or walking if using the COPR. You cannot use any commercial carrier.

Copr itself is not a travel document, but you would have received a visa in passport if you need one. That's the travel doc.
