Hey folks,

Lots of threads on re-entering Canada via a land border with an eCoPR and being totally fine. But I have a question about my specific situation that I was wondering if anyone had experience with or could help.

I’m planning on driving from Seattle to Vancouver and reentering with my Canadian partner. I have the eCoPR but my work permit that I was on whilst waiting for a decision has expired.
My question is do I need to have a valid permit to re-enter or is simply having the eCoPR and valid passport fine?

Some threads that I have read mention having valid permits in combination with the eCoPR in this situation, or not at all, hence my question.

TIA!

Thank you. Thought this was the case but just wanted to make sure.
I don’t understand why eCoPR doesn’t count as a substitute for the PR card with airlines, but hey ho.
