Hey Gokul,
Need your clarification on the below:
1. Do we need to submit a copy of COPR along with PRTD application? It is not given in the document checklist
2. Do we need to attach photographs to the PRTD application? Or can we send seperately?
Thanks again!

it is mentioned that all travel documents have to be attached and copr is probably the most important one in this context.
Can anyone who applied for PRTD from India confirm if they paid the fee using their Canadian Bank account / Credit Card or you still have to pay in Indian rupees.
I want to confirm this as right now the VFS offices are closed so not sure if the email application is being assessed in India or not. The related document checklist says this :
Fee payment in an acceptable format. Verify acceptable methods of payment with the Visa office that serves your area.
Note : Visa offices cannot accept fee payments from banks in Canada.

@gokul0989 So, are you just assuming your arrival based on the fact that the border officials will let you in? You need either PRTD or PR card to enter, right?
i went through link on cic website which mentions 50 dollars and paid using an Indian International Debit card. I had my doubts but it went through perhaps because it was international debit card.
I do have an approved PRTD. I have not received my PR card yet, so I mentioned that I might have to submit another PR card application.
Hi,
Yes, we need to submit a copy of COPR which shows your proof of landing. That is the document which shows you meet the Residential Obligation. Also, attach a copy of the One time entry PR stamping received on your passport.
We can send separately as a attachment. I pasted my photograph on the physical application form and then scanned and mailed it. I couldn't attach it on the application form in PDF format.
Sorry for the delayed response.
Hi @gokul0989 Thanks for your reply. If you don't mind me asking, when is the expiry of your PRTD? Is it the date that you mentioned in your PRTD application form (as estimated arrival date), or is it some standard expiry date (e.g. 3 months or 6 months from your application date)
I received my PRTD approval through email which did not have any specific expiry date. But when I sent the itinerary to get a travel authorization, there the expiry date of PRTD was mentioned which is about 6 months from the date of my initial approval.
Oh, okay, understood. Wait, what exactly is travel authorization? I thought PRTD is the travel document you need to enter Canada as PR. Is there another application to get the travel authorization?
No, since the VACs are closed, they have introduced the option of applying for PRTD through email. They approve the prtd through email, but the stamping cannot be issued on the passport due to closure of VACs where we need to submit the passport to get the stamping. Alternatively, after receiving the PRTD approval, you plan to leave to Canada within 30 days, we can submit the itinerary to get a Letter of Authorization which allows you to travel without a counterfoil stamping on your passport. If you are ready to wait until VFS opens, then they will send passport request email after that you can submit the passport to get the stamping done.
