Landing question

[chasinglight]

Can someone who has gotten their COPR enter Canada and not do their landing? will that be a problem if the immigration officer has that info on file? My friend has to visit in December for a personal reason and wants to do her landing in January. Is that a problem?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Entering canada with a COPR is Landing. Landing is not a choice of a person or a special process.

Once PR Visa or (and )COPR is issued all other visas will be void.

Yes provided you have a visitor visa or work visa. If you are asked why you are not doing your landing just tell them the reason. On the COPR there's a due date, as long as the landing is done prior to that date, you will be fine. Hope that helps.

We come from a visa exempt country. So there are no visa's to void so to speak

You friend won't be able to apply for eTA as he'll be flagged in the system. He has to land as a PR

Nah, I don't think this is possible. If you have a PR visa and/or a COPR, all the other visas are deemed void when you land. You will "land" as a Permanent Resident in Canada.

Hi,

That's how I did it. As long as you don't land. Enter like you have a traveler's or work visa.
