Using COPR/landing paper to enter back to canada

[decent1984]

Hi There,

I am currently in Canada but do not have my PR card yet as I will get it only by end of september. Now I need to visit the US next month.

Can I use the COPR landing paper along with my passport to re-enter canada? I will be crossing into US/Canada via a land border through a Bus.

Thanks again.

1. No, you have to cross on a NON commercial carrier, i.e. private car, taxi, as a bus is a Commercial carrier, so without a PR card it is unlikely that you will be able to board.

I need to leave Canada and I do not have a permanent resident card. Can I later return to Canada without a PR card?


Permanent residents (PR) of Canada must carry and present their valid PR card or permanent resident travel document (PRTD) when boarding a flight to Canada, or travelling to Canada on any other commercial carrier. If you do not carry your PR card or PRTD, you may not be able to board your flight, train, bus or boat to Canada.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your PR card is still valid when you return from travel outside Canada, and to apply for a new PR card when your current card expires.

Good Luck
