Hi guys, happy to share that I finally received my COPR.

Timeline as below:

Category: EE FSW
AOR: Feb. 2020
Remed request: Jan. 2022
Golden email: Mar. 2022

COPR valid for 1 year since medical exam request passed.

But I have one question: can I do short landing nowadays? I kind of remember seeing somewhere on this forum that short landing is no longer an option? We all need to land permenantly in order to continue PR status?

@legalfalcon your opinion is also highly appreciated
There is nothing as a short or long or soft or hard landing.

Upon showing up at the border with a COPR, when you are admitted, effective that day you are a PR.

Whether you stay in Canada for a second, a day or a month is your choice, as you have to do is be in compliance with any public health measures or other laws in place.

What do you mean by "short landing"???

Like you, I also got COPR today. I am going to land in Vancouver this summer, but I am still having a job here outside Canada. Therefore, I will stay in Vancouver only for a while like a week, then go back to my home country. I am wondering if this is what you call "short landing"
Yeah, this is exactly what I call "short landing"

I got my COPR and passport yesterday. What documents do I need to carry for the soft landing? I am fully vaccinated with a booster dose as well.
