Can you fly in a commercial flight after COPR and before landing?

[dream_pr]

Hi all, I have to leave Canada for a month and I have received mail for PPR. I know that you can not fly out of country after you have done your landing and are waiting for PR card. But, can you leave Canada after getting COPR? Should I send my passport for COPR or do it after I come back? Please suggest.

and I cannot walk or drive I have to take a commercial flight.

Thanks

I might be wrong but i remember reading somewhere that you will need to get PR travel document. Its issued by canadian embassies for people like you who left before getting the PR card, and it allows you enter back into canada. Hope I'm right.
Good luck

Thank you for your quick response. Any idea how long do they take to send the travel document? I have to leave in three weeks.

I dont understand why cant u travel after CoPR? when u get PPR u send in ur passport to get a visa(one time entry) once u get that u have to leave Canada one time and come back in which is when u have to do ur landing procedure. So u have to leave Canada to do ur landing. What I am saying is u cannot go out again after landing but before than u can leave Canada one time and come back in

My understanding is travel document is needed for people who have done the landing and do not have PR card yet and want to travel.

Thank you for replying,
I have heard/read that while coming back form Mexico, the commercial flight would not let me in with COPR as it is not a travel document. and the landing can be done only on foot or while driving through the border.

I am not an expert but thats not right ....what about someone from UK has to do the landing they also dont need a visa but do need to fly

I am assuming ur mexican citizen and do not need a visa to travel to Canada is that correct?

 

[dream_pr]

No, I am a Indian Citizen in canada, right now on work permit. I have received mail to PPR.

If i send my passport, i would get COPR, which is not a travel document.

And I won't get my PR card(travel document) for next two months atleast.

So, i want to know what's the best way to board a commercial flight.

I believe there will be an issue while boarding the flight back to canada as i won't have a travel document as a PR.

You can travel after getting CoPR if you have not yet landed. You don't need PR card or PRTD to enter back.

But if you got CoPR and landed, then you need PR card or PRTD to travel into Canada in a commercial aircraft.

Are you sure?

As, here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=748&top=22

it says you need COPR and permanent resident visa(which I won't have).

If ur an Indian then u will get a visa stamp on ur passport which is ur travel document and CoPR is not ur travel document. Alll u need is a visa(PR visa). So when u send in ur passport after PPR u get a visa stamp(immigrant visa) like ur study visa/work visa.This visa is enough to board a flight.

You will get CoPR along with a single entry visa. This visa is used for landing. If you travel outside canada, you can use the single entry visa to travel back.

PR card and PRTD are for people who got CoPR and also used up their single entry visa for landing.
