Hi all, I have questions about travelling outside of Canada while waiting for PR. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My status right now is that I have received an email with a letter titled "IRCC - Permanent Residence Portal (PR Confirmation)." I have replied to the email with the information requested in the letter, and am now waiting for the PR portal to be created.
My questions are:
1. Is this letter I received equivalent to E-COPR?
2. Legally speaking, is my status in Canada updated to PR now? Or does it only update officially after I receive E-CORP (if the answer to my first question is no)?
3. More background info: I applied for IG stream with a work permit, and I am planning on travelling outside of Canada and returning. Can I return to Canada with my current work permit and visa? In another word, does my work permit expires upon receiving this letter or E-CORP? Can I only travel after I receive PR card or have PRTD prepared?
Ultimately, I am looking to understand if I can travel outside of Canada and return based on my current situation. Again, I'd really appreciate if anyone has any insights on this, and am more than happy to fill in more details if needed.
