No ecopr, can I travel?

Hello, I have been waiting for my ecopr and still have not received it. I need to travel in 20 days for a duration of 14 days, can I re-enter Canada with my work permit and visitor visa?

I just talked an immigration consultant. She said you technically can, cause whatever visa/permit you have will still be valid. The only problem or risk is that if you get your eCoPR when you're outside of Canada then you can't re-enter cause you don't have your PR Card, so you either stay wherever you are and get a PTRD which I heard could take weeks to months or for my case, I am considering looking at rebooking my flight to enter into the US and rent a car and drive into Canada by land. Apparently this had worked for people by only showing their eCoPR.

But since you eCorp is issued you have 30 days to sign it…. Means you can come back to Canada on visit visa and then proceed next steps ? Sign eCorp ect …am I right ?

From what I understand from the consultant, signed eCoPR within 30 days or not, once it is given to you, it automatically invalidates your visas/permits

Returning via the U.S. may be your only option.

I have one more question.. if you don’t go on portal .. and Just delay it.. you ecorp will not be issued even right? So your visitor status will be still valid ?

Did you inform IRCC before leaving Canada?
Can we stay on loss of pay in Canada if we have valid work permit?
