Hi

With a valid work permit, you should have no issues re-entering. You will need to apply for an eTA.

If your app is approved before your trip and you don't recieve your PR card, you will need to apply for PRTD to return. Your other option would be to fly to a border city in the US and cross overland with your COPR.

If you have a work permit, you will need an eTA.

If you have PR, you will need a PR card or a PRTD.

Starting March 15, 2016, visa-exempt foreign nationals who fly to or transit through Canada will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).

Exceptions include U.S. citizens and foreign nationals with a valid visa.


i just found these on cic website . so it seems that if my Pr will not be approved until i go back home i will still have valid work permit , so that i dont need eTA. did i get it ok? or i mess something?

You don't have a visa. You have a work permit. These are entirely different things.

You will need an eTA.
