QORAX,
I just looked at the CIC website also, and it says that
COPR, RECORD OF LANDING AND RETURNING RESIDENT PERMIT are NOT valid for travel back to canada.
You need a PR card or a Travel Document to travel by plane . train , bus or boat.
I am sorry Qorax,could you point me to the place where it says that PRC or travel document is not required if traveling by road?
Do I require a Permanent Resident Card if I’m returning to Canada by car?
Do I require a Permanent Resident Card if I’m returning to Canada by car?
No matter how you travel back to Canada, all permanent residents entering Canada must satisfy the border services officer that they have valid permanent resident status. A valid permanent resident card is the best proof of your status.
If you do not present your card when you return to Canada, you may be asked to show one of the following documents:
a completed Confirmation of Permanent Residence form;
the original Record of Landing (if it is dated 1973 or later);
a passport stamped with the date you were granted permanent residence (if your Record of Landing is dated 1972 or earlier);
a certified true copy of a Record of Landing document issued by CIC National Headquarters; or
a letter issued by CIC National Headquarters attesting to your permanent resident status.
The border services officer may also need to confirm your permanent resident status by asking you questions and checking our information systems.
