Yes, your TRV will still be valid until you receive your PR card then it becomes invalid along with your PGWP. You need either your TRV or PR Card to re-enter into Canada.

Yes, thanks for the information. I tried contacting them yesterday but it didn't go through. Is there a specific number I can call?
Ok thank you! So, if I receive COPR and I travel back, I can still show my TRV and they will let me enter Canada based on my Work visa TRV. Once I arrive, I can apply for PR or PR card. No need for PRTD? Permanent residence travel document?
Yes, I think all you need to show them is your TRV and letter indicating you received your COPR. Your PGWP becomes invalid when you receive PR.
Call the to verify this information as well. Applicants that receive COPR outside Canada use the TRV to enter the country and later apply for the PR card when they land.

Hi All,
As we are all in the same boat, after 3 months of processing of our EE-Applications under CEC, do you think it's likely / common to get an ADR ("Additional Documents Request" Letter) or are we far enough in the process already - 3 months? Just hoping they will not ask for additional documents as it will delay the entire process of course, @assen89 & @AshishS87
!
Looking forward to your answers, thanks so much!

I have almost hit 4 months and my eligibility is yet to start based on the call I made today. So, they can still request additional documents regarding questions they may have about your eligibility and other information during background check.Hi All,

Thanks everyone, @assen89 - I thought after medical passed and biometrics that those ADR requests usually come BEFORE that. I know of someone who has been asked for an ADR after 1.5 months, so BEFORE biometrics and medical.

Called IRCC since I was questioning what was on my profile nothing was updated, waited for ~24 mins on the line. Agent was extremely helpful (probably relaxed and recharged after the Thanksgiving long weekend
Medicals (had it done July 2019): Passed
Biometrics (exempted gave it back in Fall 2014 for study permit): Passed
Eligibility : In Progress
Security : Not started
Criminality: In Progress
BG check: in progress
Visa office: CPC-Ottawa
Agent gave a heads up that due to COVID obviously the processing time will be more or less than 6 months
Hello y'all!! Was able to reach an agent again and again got lucky the was extremely helpful.
