Can't confirm ETA after approved PR

[mcrib79]

On a side note. What happens with your PR application now? Do you have to start all over again?

Yup.even with COVID they said I had ample enough time to enter Canada

Omg. That is so frustrating..

Ok, so for those who failed to land (expired approved PR) have to get another ETA? That doesn't seem right.

Sounds right to me, that applying for ETA is the simplest way to deal with it. What sounds wrong about it to you?

Yes that is my guess too. Because you cannot have a temporary PR visa and trv at the same time. It’s redundant. But is it confirmed? Was it in official website of Canada?

This is what happened to my partner, he was back home when his PR got approved and once he landed in Canada with his COPR, he was informed that his ETA was cancelled.
There's no direct answer on IRCC websites, but this is the closest thing I've personally found - https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1184&top=16

Ok fine..take the 1000 bucks for a missed COPR landing, but at least make the ETA valid again.

You're really complaining because you have to pay an additional $7 for the ETA?

ETA was cancelled - correctly.
Applicant didn't land within the time period specified in the travel documents - so COPR expired. Correctly.
ETA is online app, usually processed quickly, and costs $7.

Or as the kids say today - 'whatever.'
