Return to Canada without PR card

[maaya88]

Hi everyone! I just got my permanent resident status confirmed (eCoPR) 2 weeks ago. However, I haven't received the physical card yet, and will need to go to the US for family matters ( I have a US visitor visa). My flight will be on this Sunday https://xender.vip/ , and I'm not sure the physical card will arrive before then.

The question is can I still travel to the US and return with my visitor visa and work permit? Are they still valid? Their expiration date is 2025

Since you are now a PR, your previous visitor visa and work permit are likely invalid...because you no longer need them as a PR.

You will need either a PR Card or a PRTD to return to Canada via a commercial carrier. Another option would be to return to Canada at a land PoE in a personal vehicle, since your eCoPR will work there..
