Hello everyone,

Has anyone here traveled to Canada from US via land border by just using COPR and without PR card? I will land in a few days but immediately after I have to leave to come back to States. Has anyone done this before, please share your experience. I looked at CIC website, however it doesnt say anything about permanent residents. :(

Thanks

Hi

A PR card is required to board a commercial carrier to travel to Canada; it is not required to actually enter Canada.

Returning by private vehicle

There are other documents you can use to enter the country.

When you return to Canada, apply for a PR card if you plan to travel outside Canada again.

Some examples of private vehicles include, but are not limited to: a car, truck, motorcycle, or recreational vehicle that you own, borrow, or rent. It is a vehicle not available for public use.
