Hey all,

I plan on landing next week! I had to take an emergency trip to the hospital yesterday. I grabbed my COPR as the ER rates are a 1/3rd the cost for PRs/citizens, and in the chaos it got put in my purse where something tore part of the side. I'm just flattening it out under some books..

Little frustrated but more frustrated with how neurotic and paranoid this process has made me over the silliest little details.

Do you think CBSA will accept it? You can still read everything, my picture is still attached, and it's not crumpled up or anything. Just torn in a few spots. Lol.
I guess I'll find out one way or the other;)

I'm sure you've paid for something in the past with a torn/tattered bill right?

You should be fine.

Yup, I agree with Ponga.

Unless it got completely mutilated, it should be fine.

True that! I have taken some pretty shredded, taped-up bills before. Thanks for the reassurance!!!:)
