Travel while waiting PR card

[Jamestoca]

Hey guys!

My wife is waiting her application to be completed, it's still in process, however, my question is: After they finalize her application, is she going to be allowed to travel outside Canada while waiting for the PR card arrive? Or she will need wait until she receives the card?

Cheers!

James

It is recommended that she stays in until she receives her PR card however it is possible to leave and return but you will need to take that document you received at the landing interview which is the COPR (Confirmation of Permanent Residence and then take it to a Visa office wherever you're visiting and they can issue you a one time travel document.

Hi

She can leave. If she doesn't have her PR card to return, she will need to either apply for a PRTD, which can take several weeks, or travel to the US and enter at a land border.
