Tofu, if you are from a Visa exempt country like Aus (as I was UK) there is no PPR. After the process has completed ( I.E. Decision made) you will get CoPR in the mail. You can then land at Toronto. However, if you have a trip in December I suggest that you take the CoPR with you and land on your return. otherwise you will have to get a PRTD from your country of destination. That has to be applied for and received for your return journey. It becomes more difficult to travel without the PR card so land after your trip is my advice.Digital_Tofu said:
Oh right. that makes sense. So it would be worth while to hold off until I return from Australia at the end of my trip with my CoPR and land then? Is there complications if I decide to land earlier (when I receive the CoPR) down at Buffalo border? I know that the physical PR card takes a while to arrive after you land, but don't you get some sort of temporary document that could be shown when arriving back to Toronto as proof I've already landed? I'll certainly take your advice on board though, as it might be easier. Just pretty excited to land finally and don't want to hold off any longer that I need to. Thanks for you advice +1 for you!Muttley said:
Hey D_Tofu, no additional documents are issued after one lands. That being said, you don't need any documents as you are from a visa exempt country. Just show up and enter with your Aussie passport. It might be a good idea to land sooner than later, to become a PR sooner. You will become eligible to apply for citizenship earlier, if you wanted oneDigital_Tofu said:
Yeah, tried from a colleague's workstation and it went through!Oct2013_app said:
Yor CoPR will be stamped in big letters NOT VALID FOR TRAVEL... I spoke with the Immigration officer and she and a collegue advised me not to travel until I had my PR card as I was landing. They said fine to Land with the PR card but not ok to travel without it once landed. So I would take the CoPR with you on your trip ...dont lose it and land with it on your return.Digital_Tofu said:
My Current BWOP is valid until May next year, wouldn't it be irrelevant if the CoPR is "not valid for travel" if I can just come in on my BWOP anyway?Muttley said:
Don't worry, you are totally fine once you have your CoPR, I have multiple friends from Aus and the UK that have come and gone with only a copy of that and not had any issues. Being from a visa exempt country saves a lot of the headaches.Digital_Tofu said:
Thanks. I figured it wouldn't be a hassle at all. I'm landing as soon as I get my CoPR! Screw waiting any longer than this whole process has been!greg123 said:
