PR Portal Email Came Right Before Departing Canada For Vacation - What To Do?

[mralston]

Good problem to have, but seeing conflicting advice throughout various forums.

I just got the first PR portal email today asking me to confirm information of myself and dependents. I am an inland CEC candidate and present in Canada as of today, with a valid work permit. I am leaving Canada tomorrow by air for a wedding in the US and continuing onto the UK from there, ultimately returning to Canada on July 11th. If I respond to this email today (they're asking for a response within 7 days), I am worried my eCOPR will be issued, my work permit will be nullified, and I will not have a PR card or a PRTD in time for my return trip).

Is it better to submit the email tomorrow when I am not present in CA which will ultimately affect my landing back in Canada, or am I fine to travel away having said I am physically in CA at time email was sent, and apply for a PRTD while I am away.

Can I return to Canada under implied visitor status with my US passport from a UK airport?

Tough timing but looking for some advice.

Thanks!

This should be a fairly simple process.

Email them back saying you are going to travel from this day to this day (attach your flight details if you like) and you will be back to Canada on July 11. Ask them to hold off on your application until you are back (send them proof of the day you are back/ flight ticket). They will then proceed your application/ sending you portal 2 after you are in Canada.

Happy travelling!
