Hi All,

We received our copr recently. We didn't do landing yet. My husband is a primary applicant. Due to family exigencies, I (dependent) have to travel to India. DO I need any other document to come back to Canada or work permit/ co -pr is enough. Please help me out.


Thanks & Regards,
Mala

As a dependent, you can only use your IM-1 visa/COPR to enter Canada after your husband makes his landing. Otherwise, you'd need a valid TRV.

Thanks for the quick reply Bellaluna.
Just to clarify
Is PTR is mandatory?
My open work permit is valid till next year can I land using the work permit without CPR? ( Is work permit still valid after CPR)
Or
After my husband land here can I use the CPR and do landing while entering Canada?


Thanks & Regards,
Malathi

PTR? Do you mean TRV?

If you wish to re-enter Canada without landing as a PR, you would need a valid TRV or eTA, as the link above stated, even if your work permit is valid.

Again, you would need an IM-1 visa (or eTA, if you are visa exempt) with your COPR to do your landing *after* your husband does his.
