Hi Guys.

After reading all your comments it seems the PR card is taking too long from the Etobicoke office. My photos were received on April 8th and I confirmed with IRCC after calling them.

Now my question is regarding travel plans. This is ridiculous that we cant even travel just because of this freaking PR card although some of us are having valid open work permits and work visa's. But can someone make me understand that even if we travel using our valid work permit what might be the consequences once we land in Toronto? Because I think I wont be having any issues while boarding the plane, the airline would consider me as work permit holder and would allow me to board.

Please if someone can share their thoughts or know someone who have recently travelled like this? I don't want to go with the PRTD route from my home country.

Thank you in advance.

@virani123 Once your PR is approved and you have a COPR, your work permit is invalidated and can't be used to return. However, you can apply for Permanent Resident Travel Document from your home country's Canada embassy and use it as a one-time travel visa to enter Canada. I would suggest you call IRCC and confirm if this works out and plan your travel accordingly.

@Harsh prem Did you receive your PR card. Did you send your photos through mail or upload photos in the new portal?
