[shibaak]

It takes maximum 2-3 weeks to get the travel document. Also, the processing time for PR card has gone down to 42 days.

Thanks a lot

Your permit becomes invalid as soon as you confirm your PR status with immigration ie doing flagpoling at the land border or when landing at airport immigration

Oh Okay.. Thank you..
So we apply for Travel Document through My CIC?

Once we complete the landing I can go to India for my vacation right? Or do I need to wait for anything else?

You would need PR card to enter Canada ideally which takes 3 months to receive.

There has been some fuss about entering Canada using only COPR so I have doubts about. I have heard of people who seemingly claimed to have used COPR for entry from US though I doubt it unless they kind of delayed their actual landing and kept using prior work permit + visa for entering Canada (Once you do landing, as part of the process your existing work permit and visas are invalidated kind of - I have heard CBSA citing both a) Cancelling work permit and trv b) You do not need this anymore. So this is kind of uncertain)

If say for instance you have lost your PR card, you might be able to get CIC to issue you a travel document as a substitute. But I don't know if that can be done when you are waiting to receive first PR card.

Currently I have seen it taken upwards of 110 days to receive - apparently those cards issued in 2016 seem to have some new chip added adding extra time.

If I were you, I would check with CBSA first - thoroughly about terms of getting back into Canada. Best time to ask is when you are completing your landing.

Ideally if you could delay a trip until receiving PR card, its certainly better.

If u havent already crossed the border, the best choice is to see the validity of ur single entry pr visa when u get copr..if it is valid for the duration of ur travel,there is nothing to worry..just go right away and u can do landing when u return..

In all other cases,

It takes 42 days +mailing time for the card now..if u cant wait that long,just arrange somebody to send ur card by secured post or in person to wherever you are..so that u can return easily..otherwise u can request for a travel document from the embassy in your country if the trip is very urgent..u have options to make pr card processing faster by claiming about ur trip plans, but cant always trust..
