    Urgent COPR at land border?

    Does anyone have a link or confirmation from the IRCC or any Canadian government site, that says the expiry date on the COPR only applies to when you need to first land in Canada? They have asked me to provide proof of this to submit to security in Ottawa. I have wrote to IRCC and still...

    Urgent COPR at land border?

    Just a follow up, I went to the CBSA at the border again today. I was told multiple times by the agent and supervisor on duty, that the expiry date on the COPR is the date that you're required to land officially in Canada your first time, which I did in 2017. Once someone has a PR card, they are...

    Urgent COPR at land border?

    I live in Europe and this is the first time I could get back to Canada. As I cannot submit a PR renewal from outside of Canada, I wasn't able to renewal it until now. They only submit a reliability status when you're offered a job, which I was this time. Which put everything else in motion.

    Urgent COPR at land border?

    Thank you for your response and information. Yes, in terms of the expiry date as you mentioned, they never mentioned anything about the expiry date for the COPR as they submitted the copy I gave them to Ottawa. The only time they mentioned the expiry date was the response they sent back this...

    Urgent COPR at land border?

    Received an email back from CFSU in Europe, and they provided the notes the security office in Ottawa. The phone copy of the COPR I provided previously, had expired on 2022/03/05. So basically they denied it and asked for me to submit a valid COPR or renewed PR Card. I somehow missed the expiry...

    Urgent COPR at land border?

    Easier said than done. I have told them and included screenshots, links, etc. They submitted it for the Reliability status to Ottawa and Ottawa has the final decision. Hopefully this scanned copy directly from CBSA is sufficient.

    Urgent COPR at land border?

    I wish I could give you a concrete answer. I have not been given one as of yet. I just know and was told they need one Foundational piece of ID...ex one of the following...Canadian passport, PR card or Record of Landing (which I mentioned should also include a COPR obviously). My phone...

    Urgent COPR at land border?

    Thank you!! I became a PR in 2017. It was the exact copy of my original COPR with it saying "NOT VALID FOR TRAVEL" stamped on the the middle. It had the immigration officer's signature as well as mine including the date we both signed. Very top of the document is says CONFIRMATION OF...

    Urgent COPR at land border?

    Thank you. Yes I agree from everything I have read or heard. IRCC did say one time to submit as Urgent from outside Canada through the portal online as I had no other option. I am definitely going to try and finish the PR renewal form and submit it while I am here.

    Urgent COPR at land border?

    Correct, but my copy was a phone picture from 6 years ago and wasn't a great copy truthfully. Just to buy time until I get a new one and they might accept it. The document shows I am a permanent residence. This is their explanation to me. I know my expired PR card shows I am a PR as well...

    Urgent COPR at land border?

    Update....CBSA was able to find and print out my COPR!! I called ahead and explained the situation. They said explain everything to the person in the booth and ask to be sent in to see Immigration. Once inside, the officer was very nice and obviously helpful. I explained the situation, he...

    Urgent COPR at land border?

    Thank you for all your replies! Definitely appreciated. Yes, without saying too much about the job and military, I had to explain to them what a COPR is and how it is equivalent to the Record of Landing document. I even sent in a scanned copy of my COPR document, even though it wasn't the...

    Urgent COPR at land border?

    I am a US Citizen, a Permanent Residence with an expired PR card, living abroad because of my wife's military service for Canada. I am accepted for a job with the Canadian military, but they need either a valid PR card or my COPR document ASAP, otherwise I will lose the job opportunity. I am...

    Record of Landing Document

    Hello, I am currently a PR (with an expired card) in Europe as our family is working for the Canadian military. Does anyone know the quickest way to receive a Record of Landing Document? I don't have my original and need a copy for a job offer. Any help or direction would be much...

    PR card expired while living in Europe. Need renewed PR or first time passport options please.

    Correct. Unfortunately it looks like the only way to renew my PR card is to fly back to Canada, then apply from inside Canada. Will have to figure out that scenario since there were no plans to go back in the near future. I was just hoping there was a European office that could do it and/or be...

    PR card expired while living in Europe. Need renewed PR or first time passport options please.

    Hello, Thank you for the reply. Yes, once I renew my PR card, applying for Canadian citizenship is definitely right after. I have met the residency requirement in Canada to qualify. The job is on the NATO base, but only available specifically for Canadians. So they need either a valid PR...

    PR card expired while living in Europe. Need renewed PR or first time passport options please.

    Correct. Thank you for all the information. I knew of the crossing through a land border using a private vehicle. Yes, I figured so about the PRTD not being an official document. Thank you again for all your answers. Well, I am definitely stuck then. Is there a possibility of having a...

    PR card expired while living in Europe. Need renewed PR or first time passport options please.

    Right, that is correct I was overlooking that somehow. Thank you. The passport route will take a long time according to current timelines. So since there are no Embassies in Europe that deal with the renewal of PR cards, my only option is the PRTD for now. Then wait until going back to...
