I just received an email from IRCC about
W303841301 Correspondence. In the IMM5659, IRSS issued two documents in an electronic version: permit WT-EXT/permis-PT-PROR and eTA with document numbers.
My questions are:
1. Can I go outside of Canada and re-enter only with these documents numbers? Or I need to wait for the physical mail(IMM5659-temporary residency permit)??(currently I’m living in Canada and applied for permanent residency through my common in-law partner)
2. If I am able to travel with the two electric version of documents, how long I can stay for outside of Canada??

Appreciate your reply
 
If you are a non-resident and applied for inland PR, travelling outside of Canada is a risk, as you may not be re-admitted to the country. You need a valid entry permission (I suppose that is your eTA?) and will need to satisfy a border officer that you are not an overstay risk.

Additionally, one of the requirements for an in-Canada spousal application is that you are in Canada. If you leave for a length of time, IRCC will either consider your application abandoned or will refuse it because you are not in Canada. A short trip or a week or two, once, appears to be tolerated by IRCC but it's a risk you need to calculate and decide your comfort.
 
Thank you for your kind reply. It helps a lot.

Hi, I’m the one who posted the original thread. I have one more question. Currently I just graduated from the university in this month, in Canada and waiting for my permanent residency. Then is it ok to travel?
I guess there’s always a risk if I don’t have a solid residency here?!
Thank you for your kind reply. It helps a lot.
