Hi All,
Would like to know if a permanent resident, who has not received a PR card yet and who is currently outside Canada can travel on a visit visa stamped in the passport, which is valid till June 2019, to collect PR cards ?

Would appreciate any help in this regard.
If you have already done your landing you are a Permanent Resident and cannot use a visitor visa to enter canada, you will need to apply for PRTD if you do not have your PR Card.

By land you can cross with your COPR

But from any other means like airport you need to have PRTD if you don't have PR card..

I have done it but its risky
 
Finally, see my PR card approved in my CIC account. End to a long journey. Thanks to this forum as so many folks have helped me out. All the best to everyone.

Hi,
Congratulations. When did you land? How many days it took from the day of landing?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
They usually cancel any valid visitor's VISA, when they stamped your passport with the immigrant VISA. You may like to check your passport. So, you will need PRTD to enter Canada. Other option could be through a land border, where they allow entering with a valid COPR.
