yes you do not need a PR Card or PRTD if you are entering Canada through a land border in your private vehicle.

I know my question will sound silly but I missed this tiny detail above so I have to ask

It doesn't matter if I am flying from another country to the US via air and then entering Canada via in private vehicle. It would be fine right on ETA or eCOPR?

yes as long as you are entering Canada via land border in your private vehicle you do not need a PRTD or PR Card but i think you still need a visa to enter Canada along with your ECOPR, but you only need a visa if you were already living in Canada and then went outside then tried to enter again via land order and on the other hand if you never entered Canada before then a PRTD will be issued to you along with ECOPR.

Yeah, I have a visa stamped on my passport that was issued with my work permit. That is fine, right?

yes as long as it will be valid by the time you going to enter Canada again through land border, so once you enter Canada through land border just show them a print of your ECOPR, your passport visa and if they ask you where is your PR Card then just tell them that you haven't received it yet.

P2 - 28 October

Still waiting for my eCOPR. The simplest step in the entire process for becoming a permanent resident is taking the longest, with no established timeframe. One of my project assignments is on hold because I can't apply for the needed security clearance without becoming a permanent resident first. In December, I have two short work trips outside North America and a long holiday planned for Christmas. My only hope is that my eTA doesn't get cancelled the moment I receive my eCOPR in the portal—so at least the airline will still allow me to board my flight to Canada.


I had a not so lovely chat with a IRCC phone agent earlier today, and they will only intervene by contacting the case officer when 3 months will have elapsed after P2.

Just as a note of encouragement, I was also told three months when I was waiting for eCOPR, I had my daughter waiting to join us in Canada and it was so frustrating, After they took more than three years to process my application three months seemed like an eternity, I even went on our local news to highlight the plight of immigrants waiting in queue for eCOPR,
I called IRCC every week, I told them I run a business which I have to hold back from expanding because my daughter and only employee cannot enter the country until the PA received eCOPR, which was absolutely true, When they said three months I made a huge deal of it to IRCC, my MP and anyone in authority who would listen, Most of all I prayed so fervently because our mental health was being seriously affected,
I said to IRCC that they make immigrants jump through hoops doing medicals so they won't be a burden on Canada but they failed to see the looming mental health crisis looming because of stressed out families.
Almost two weeks after, I got eCOPR, I was literally writing another letter to the immigration minister when the email popped up,
Don't be afraid to make a little noise, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. And I agree with you, the immigrant agents were the least helpful, sometimes I hung up on them until I got a non immigrant Canadian, I know that sounds horrible but it is what it is, Here;s to the eCOPR tsunami!

 

[Fordling]

What was your experience after you received your COPR? Did you notice in your CIC account if IRCC cancelled your eTA?

It is my understanding that you eta, visitor visa, work visa and pgwp will all be administratively cancelled. You may however either apply for a PRTD or cross the US border into Canada an show your eCOPR.

any ecopr?

 

[MSD07]

is it coming today ?? talk about living in delusion and wishful thinking.

 

[Sahilk77]

It might come today for most of the people with OCT P2's, when I received my ECOPR it was on Friday around 4PM so I hope most of the people get it today.

From a technical standpoint, the eTA will no longer be applicable as you will have become a permanent resident. However, assuming you will not have received your PR card but received eCOPR, you can still use the eTA to board your flight to Canada, this is only for satisfying the airline you are eligible to come to Canada. Upon arrival at the CBSA checkpoint, whether by land, air, or sea, you simply need to declare yourself as a permanent resident of Canada. While it is preferable to have your PR card or a copy of your eCOPR for their convenience, they can easily verify your status with only verbal declaration (at least this is my plan for all my upcoming out of country trips).

Not sure I understand what you're saying. If you are outside Canada when you get your eCOPR technically your eTA, WP,PGWP and any other TRVs would get invalidated immediately, so if you are trying to board an airplane from outside Canada the airline will not be able to find your eTA. Atleast this is what I managed to understand after reading so many forums. Let me know if you have a different understanding.
