I travelled without my PR CARD just went to the normal immigration officer who let me back in with just a copr no problems. Still haven't got my card though which is annoying.
 
I finally just got mine like a week ago. I believe it was about 112 days for me.

Hi purpleshow,
When you travel with just your COPR and passport, doesn't the officer ask you for the PR Travel document?
I thought you needed that to get in, even for visa-exempt countries.
What will you do if you still to travel after March 15th, since there will be need for a eTA visa for visa-exempt counties?

Starting March 15, 2016, visa-exempt foreign nationals who fly to or transit through Canada will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). Exceptions include U.S. citizens and travellers with a valid visa.

no. for visa exempt countries, at the moment, there's no need for a travel document. passport and COPR are fine. Once the ETA's become a requirement then yeah, if I haven't got the PR card by the time I'm next leaving the country, I'd need to get a travel document. But I can't imagine that i'll still be waiting for the card then.

I landed October 5 and am in the same boat. I called the call centre and they said they are having a lot of delays right now and I should get it "by January 12." Quite a random date, but we'll see if they're correct.

Called CIC today to check status on her new card. She landed on 17 Oct 2015. Was told that they sent a letter asking for new photos. As she is not in country was told not to send card by courier. Any thoughts ? Thanks
