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

After getting your Ecopr, you can enter Canada through the US, if you have a US visa. I am waiting for ECOPR and that's my plan.
I do have a US Visa but again i can travel the US border only on a private vehicle with a ecopr and not on a Bus right ? which is a problem again.
 
I'm shocked to see that people are experiencing anxiety attacks within a week of receiving their P2 status. It's important to understand that feeling anxious and making desperate attempts to get updates won't help your situation. You've done your part; now it's time to stay positive and wait for the outcome. Instead of checking your status daily, try checking it just two or three times a week.

In my previous post, I mentioned that the Canada Post strike may be causing delays, and someone just confirmed that. I received my P2 on October 18 and have been waiting ever since. Don't worry if you've received P1 or P2; nothing can prevent your PR from being processed(unless something changes in your life). YOU WILL GET IT ;)

Just a friendly piece of advice, Life can often feel overwhelming with all its stressors, and it's important to remember that taking care of your mental health should be a priority.
