Hello,

I am Canadian and my wife is Peruvian and she has been fully approved as a Canadian Permanent Resident. She has her COPR and her single entry visa in her Peruvian passport. We have to transit through Mexico, which now requires Peruvians to have a visa.

Does the COPR and Canadian Entry Visa omit her from requiring a Mexican visa? Will that be sufficient to transit through Mexican airport, or does she need a Mexican visa? It says that Canadian Permanent residents are void from the requirement but have to show their PR card, which she hasn't received because this is our first landing voyage.

She's technically not yet a Canadian permanent resident until she officially "landed" in Canadian soil and her COPR is stamped by a CBSA officer at the port of entry (international airport, ferry terminals and land border).

If she has a US visa, probably she would be void from the requirement.
