Can I travel to Canada (in and out) just with a COPR?

Hi All,

I am living in Canada with an Open work permit. My TRV expired a few months ago but my Work Permit is still vallid. I applied for a PR via CEC and waiting for my COPR. I have the following questions:
-Will the govenrment stamp a PR Visa into my passport? (as I am from a country that requires visa).
-Am I able to fly in and out of the Country just with my COPR? As, I might need to travel for work purposes, and I believe It will be before I receive my PR Card.

Thanks for your help.

You cannot travel using a COPR. You can leave Canada. However to return you need either a valid PR card or valid PR Travel Document.
