Thank you for taking time to produce and publish this video. I do have a question regarding traveling without a valid PR card: Isn't the valid PR card really a requirement to `travel' to Canada (via commercial carrier, UNLESS the PR is a U.S. citizen flying with their U.S. passport, alone) and not an actual requirement to `enter' Canada once the PR arrives at the airport PoE? The commercial carrier could be financially responsible for returning the traveler back to where their flight originated, if the traveler (PR) is denied entry into Canada. It makes sense that they would be cautious when boarding the PR. They are likely not aware that a PR CANNOT be denied entry. Even without a PR card, CBSA would ultimately be able to see that the traveler is in fact a PR of Canada and remains as such unless/until their PR status is revoked, or renounced. I am NOT encouraging this, because at the very least, the PR would probably get a strong tongue lashing from the CBSA officer)s)...but they would be allowed to enter Canada. Even if the officer suspects that the PR has not met the R.O., to MAINTAIN PR status...they are still allowed to enter....hoping that a 44(1) report has not been written by the officer! Also worth noting that a PR card is, primarily a status document before it is a travel document. PRs shouldn't resist renewing their card, even if they don't think they're going to be leaving Canada anytime soon! Time to plan for that much deserved vacation NOW! Again, thank you for the information. Please let me (and others) know if my interpretations above are inaccurate.
Thank you for the info I am in U.S.A now & both my PR card & passport got stolen & there is no way to recover them but i have my COPR document issued more than 2 years now,Drivers license & photo copies of passport & PR card.Also i am driving my own car registered under my name.would i be allowed to drive back to enter a land border without PR card & passport?please help
Yes should be fine as long as you have a COPR, but I would have a police report for the stolen items and also contact your country of nationality and get an emergency passport. Again you can only go through in a private car. Based on the limited info this is what I would suggest and hope this helps. Really sorry to hear this happened to you and good luck!!!
Everything went smoothly coz i was driving back in my car.Also i reported it lost by calling IRCC.I was also carrying a copy of police report.Cbsa officer accepted my driver’s license as id proof.But COPR document is a must as per my understanding.Thanks again for the positive info
Hello, I am from Afghanistan. I entered Canada by land on March 2, 2023 without a passport and applied for asylum. The court decision was positive on October 31, 2023 and I applied for a PR card. I just received an email saying that I applied. And in this email, it says that my application has been sent and that they will contact me later. By the way, I applied for a travel document and it arrived a week ago. Can I go back and forth to Turkey without any problems with my travel document and court decision? or what do I need to go back and forth without any problems? Thank you.
Hi Sir, Thank you for the informative video. I am planning on doing a soft landing in Canada and have my pr card sent via courier to my home country for when I intend to travel back. Is this a viable option ? Would you suggest any other way. Regards
Sorry difficult to answer as certainly a few more details required. Also for your reference, sending PR cards are not really something I would suggest. I know some people do it but I know others who have had problems and had to answer some questions about this. I know I am responding to you late but hopefully everything has worked out well for you. Sorry about that

Hello, I have a similar situation and I came across your video. I received my COPR (Jan 2024) and I have not received my PR card yet (it’s April 2024). I have to travel to India as I am getting married. I do not have time to apply for PRTD as the processing time is high( upto 1.5 months) and I do not have approved leave (from work)for that long.

The PR card is just a travel document for commercial international travel, but if you are just travelling inside of Canada you would not need a PR card, especially as your status is a visitor. Hope this helps and enjoy your travels together!!
Hello there , Need professional advise on my situation here where I have applied to renew my PR card over a month ago now and have another 6weeks before my flight back home to Ethiopia for a month of stay. Now the issue is I see my pr renewal application status at IRCC as in process but not sure if it would make it on time for my travel date on January 5th ( about 6 weeks from now ) . I am really stressed on what to do as I did research options and am familiar with the permanent residence travel document I can apply for once am in Ethiopia but there is no specific processing time I can find online to ease my concern as I have a flight back to Canada on February 7th and really want to be able to return on my flight back date so not sure which of the below are the option for my case 1) Extend my travel dates as no way that my renewed pr would make it on time by January 5th 2) Apply for PRTD once am in Ethiopia and if it’s for sure will be processed with in 3-4 weeks ( I have been in Canada for over 4 years out of the 5 so I have confirmed I qualify) 3) Last but best option if my current application that I have submitted and was received by the IRCC on October 25th will be here on time before my flight date to Ethiopia which is on January 5th I am really concerned as I want to make I go with the best decision here and take the safest option

Hello My husband and I have landed in October in Canada through express entry visa as a permanent resident. I got my PR card but my husband doesn’t yet and we have to go to India back soon. How he can travel ?
Hello! Thanks for the info. I already submitted my pr card renewal application but i’m afraid it won’t arrive before my trip outside Canada. Can i still leave Canada without it and provide my application number or some sort as proof in the immigration?
I am a new immigrant of Canada,, my spouse sponsored me.. that i am a new permanent resident in Canada.. so i didn't get my pr card in one month..i need to go back my home without getting it.. so should I inform immigration that I didn't get the pr card.
Hi i got my pr conformation from ircc but i didnt receive email from ircc for pr card portal they didnt send me login and temporary password what should i do please reply
Seems to only thing you can do is contact the webform or if you can reply back to the email that it came from and then you can ask for them to activate the invite to portal again. This is all assuming that you have went through the process inland in Canada. Hope this helps and good luck with that
My Permanent Resident application is in process it is not approved but I have submitted all the necessary documents, my question is can i go back home and wait in my country for the appproval of my PR ...is this risky or might be the reason for my application be refused ? MY visitor visa is expired as well , so i need to apply again if they will ask me to come back to resume the the PR application if ever.
I have just received email from IRCC that my application is approved. I am inside canada and will submit my photo for PR card. so until, I have ecopr I am not PR right? In this case I can still use my post graduation work permit and TRV on passport to re enter canada? What if I get eCopr when I’m in USA?
hello. i got my citizenship. but will only get my certificate of citizenship in 2 weeks. i was obliged to cut my card when doing the citizenship ceremony. my question can i move within canada (provinces) by air without my PR card please?
Hey, my PR card is expired but i wanna go down to seattle and I will be crossing the border. What are the other documents I could use to re-enter canada.
If you are not in a commercial vehicle, you can use you COPR. Again borders are tricky and you always need to proceed with caution but you should be fine. Hope this helps
Hello sir. I have a question. Currently I’m not in Canada i left Canada a month ago to go see my family in my country but i lost my passport and i still have my PR card with me, can i travel back to Canada with my PR card?
Hello, I am PR in Canada but I returned to the US after I completed my landing, while its been over months now waiting for the PR CARD, want to ask if I can travel by road from US into Canada with my landing document ?
The short answer is you should be fine as the PR card is only a travel document for commercial travel. If you are in a private vehicle and have your landing document, you should be fine. Safe travels and hope your PR card comes soon!
The travel document is only for travel on commercial carriers. You would need to apply for a travel document in India when there (not recommended) or if you have US visa you can cross over land in private car with COPR. Hope this helps and hope you have a safe trip!!
Hello, I became PR on July 2021, and i haven’t received my card yet . I travelled to India on 27th November will be here till May 2022. Is there any issue with residency obligations?
Hey there, I got my eCOPR on 29th of October, 2021 and I travelled to India on 5th of January, 2022 without the PR card. Since, I have applied for PRTD for over a month but I didn’t get any update yet. Moreover, I have my work permit valid till April, 2023. So now my question is that can I travel back to canada on the basis of my work permit ? Please reply asap as I am heavily confused in this situation ? Thanks
From what I can see from the info provided this should be fine as long as you meet the residency which is 2 years out of a 5 year period. Hope this helps!
The short answer is no as the PR card is the travel document. I know of some people who have done this but would not recommend this. Would suggest you work to push along the PRTD and inquire as to the status. Good luck and hope this helps
