I have an interesting situation and want to see if anyone is in the same boat:
I am an Indian living in US (H1-B). I have AINP nomination with AOR of October 2019. I received this letter for IRCC today. I have not got CoPR or PR visa counter foil before. What should I do? Is this document enough for me to travel.

You must carry a copy of this letter along with your passport as proof of your authorization to travel to Canada.
On March 18, 2020, the Government of Canada announced travel restrictions to Canada to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and protect the health and safety of Canadians.
Your application for permanent residence (PR) was approved on 2020/09/18 and you were issued a confirmation of permanent residence (CoPR) document. If you are from a country that requires a visa to travel to Canada, you were also issued a PR visa counterfoil in your passport.
Your CoPR and PR visa TXXXXXXXX will expire on 2022/11/30.
At this time, we are not printing and mailing new CoPRs or PR visa counterfoils. For your travel to Canada, you will need to:
- bring this letter;
- show it to the airline as proof that you are exempt from the travel restriction and that your COPR and PR visa are valid; and,
- use this letter before 2022/11/30
When arranging your travel to Canada, we advise that you book a direct flight to Canada, if possible. If not, we strongly advise that you do not book a flight with more than one international transit stop, since you may encounter issues with local authorities upon transiting through other countries while on route to Canada. Should you book a flight with a stop or layover, it is important to confirm that you have the necessary documentation to transit through that country. This could include a transit visa, for example.
Please note that your passport must also be valid to travel to Canada and you will need to show this letter upon arrival in Canada to the Canada Border Services Agency who will confirm your landing at the Port of Entry.
