I have US visiting visa (valid for 10 years) on my Travel Document.
I await my PR card in the mail.

When I travel to the States with my visa, with what documents will I get back into Canada?
On my COPR it clearly states "Not Valid for Travel"

Please any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Your best bet is to get in touch with Canadian Border Services.

http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/contact/bis-sif-eng.html - Contact info for CBSA

They should be able to clarify any questions that you may have on this subject.

Cheers!!..

1. You carry your COPR and enter by non commercial means or you obtain a TD from one of the US offices.

Thanks for the reply PMM
I am a Canadian PR
My US visa is on my Canadian Travel Document
However, my PR card has not arrived in the mail.

On the strength of my Travel Document and COPR can I return back to Canada by commercial means?

hello fullofsunshine:

I went to the passport office canada and pedi there an application for refugee travel document ... they will deliver you with a complete application, and have the same direction on where you need to send the application.
I applied in 2012. time to arrive was one month.

with this travel document, travel outside canada twice. and return only when you present the migration agent like anyone who comes with resid card. or her own passport from canada. that is very similar ...

and I just wondered where you were and for how long. only that!
there is no problem to enter again.
I hope my answer serves you and good luck :)

Thanks for your reply. You applied for refugee travel document? I wonder if I qualified for that. All this time, I was looking for travel document for permanent resident. And where exactly you applied? Passport Office Canada? Is the office within Canada, or outside Canada? Thanks for your further response.

I will be traveling twice in the next 3 months, to China for 3 weeks and to US for 5 days.
