Is travelling to home country after submitting e-APR / AOR a problem?

[Ahmisht]

Hi all,

I am planning to submit my e-APR by end of February 2023 (my last date is March 15, 2023). I am flying to my home country at the end of March 2023 and planning to stay for about 35 days. So, I will hopefully be returning first week of May 2023.

My question is, Is this travel after submitting my e-APR going to be a problem? I've heard in a YouTube short that I can only accept the CoPR if I am physically in Canada, and there are some other rules too. For example, if I do go out of Canada after my e-APR that I should inform IRCC before leaving Canada and after coming back.

But I don't really have the full picture here. I am guessing it will take at least 6 months from the date I submit my e-APR to get the CoPR. Will it them be safe for me to go back home in the mean time for a month?

Its all good, you can do that. These days it takes quite a while for processing. Anyways when you get ITA you have 60 days to submit everything and you would be back by then. If not once you get to know that the processing has picked up fast you can come back.

Thanks Taran. Actually, I already got my ITA. I will leave Canada after I submit my application.

Good. There is always a possibility of coming back early if needs arise, isn't it? All the best, I hope everything goes your way.
