I’m in a similar situation, as I need to travel in early January next year. I’m hopeful that I’ll receive the eCOPR email before my trip, but if I don’t have my PR card by then, can I re-enter Canada using my current eTA and work permit, or will they become invalid once I receive the eCOPR?

What can I do? suggestions/advice would be highly appreciated thanks.
Once you receive eCOPR all your other visa related documents become invalid. If you leave before you receive your PR card, you will have to apply for a PRTD once you leave. You can only apply for that outside of Canada.

What was your experience after you received your COPR? Did you notice in your CIC account if IRCC cancelled your eTA?

Yeah, I have heard of that, never knew that I could only apply from outside Canada. My trip is just for 3 weeks max and I doubt that PRTD will be processed before that.

I asked my lawyer about this when I didn't receive my PR Card and he said it takes around 2 months usually but you can ask IRCC to do it faster as it is an emergency.

i don't think they will cancel as the ETA will automatically expire beyond the expiry date just like Work Permit

Is it possible to enter into USA and then into Canada via land border with eCOPR?

yes you do not need a PR Card or PRTD if you are entering Canada through a land border in your private vehicle.
I know my question will sound silly but I missed this tiny detail above so I have to ask :p

It doesn't matter if I am flying from another country to the US via air and then entering Canada via in private vehicle. It would be fine right on ETA or eCOPR?

yes as long as you are entering Canada via land border in your private vehicle you do not need a PRTD or PR Card but i think you still need a visa to enter Canada along with your ECOPR, but you only need a visa if you were already living in Canada and then went outside then tried to enter again via land order and on the other hand if you never entered Canada before then a PRTD will be issued to you along with ECOPR.

Yeah, I have a visa stamped on my passport that was issued with my work permit. That is fine, right?

yes as long as it will be valid by the time you going to enter Canada again through land border, so once you enter Canada through land border just show them a print of your ECOPR, your passport visa and if they ask you where is your PR Card then just tell them that you haven't received it yet.
