You will have to pay all these fees, if you don't pay right of permanent residence now, you'll end up paying it later.
Biometrics: basically they take fingerprints of applicant. It's paid for separately.

Ok. I figured it was better to pay all this up front: Sponsorship fee ($75), principal applicant processing fee ($490) and right of permanent residence fee ($515)
How do they take the fingerprints? I assume the person would go to local police or RCMP?
I am in a similar boat. Haven't received ECoPR after submitting photo, address and in-canada declaration.
I also have the following questions regarding traveling back on "invalid" TRV after receiving ECoPR.
1. Is there any official documentation that anyone can point to regarding we can't travel on TRV once we get ECoPR ?
2. Can the airline actually check if your TRV is "valid" or not ?
3. As long as the TRV expiry date has not passed, they will let you check in and go through security, right ?
4. Do airline personnel know that your TRV is now invalid because you got your ecopr ?
What stage in processing are you?
If it was a short trip (less than a week eg) would say of course go.
If two months, and in time in processing expected soon - don't go.
You're right in the middle. Probably okay to go, but if you are expecting right now, would wait. You'll have to decide.
A bit on the edge but probably okay travelling; do you have ability to enter through USA (eg a visa) if any issue comes up?
No, I dont have US visa, will they allow to re-enter on Visitor Visa status in Canada?
I have no idea what the US does, but presume that you need a US visa to enter USA.
My point was (and is): if you had ecopr and for whatever reason did not have a PR card yet, you could not board a direct flight to Canada. But you could cross at a land border.
The issue being in your case, if you get the ecopr tmrw (for example), you still don't know how long the PR card would take to arrive. With a new ecopr you could apply for PRTD to board the plane, but that might take a few weeks.
Sorry, I can't give you any firm answers. I think if you were to depart tmrw and even if you were issued ecopr, you could probably travel back on your current visa. But I don't know.
Obviously one factor is if/how quickly you need to return to Canada. If you can be flexible on return, then you will likely have time to resolve (eg if getting prtd is delayed).
