Hi everyone,
I reached P2 of my PR processing on October 31st. I'm hoping to receive my PR card by the last week of December, assuming the Canada Post strike ends and Portal 2 approval goes smoothly.
I've already booked a flight to my home country on January 4th, returning on January 30th, for an important family function.
Here's my concern: What if I don't receive my physical PR card by then, but my COPR is issued? Can I still enter Canada with just my work permit, which only expire by June 2025?
Also, is it possible to ask a friend in Canada to use express mail to send me my PR card?
Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Looking at current timelines you'll be lucky to even get eCoPR by January.
To answer your questions: 1) your work permit and all other visas becomes invalid the moment you get eCoPR so you will not be allowed to board the plane 2) sure, someone can send you the PR card (provided its issued by January 30, which may not be the case) 3) you can enter through US land border by private vehicle with eCoPR only
