I know this may sound like a silly question but would border control care if the eCOPR has fold marks on it so I can fit it into my passport?

I went into the US with Greyhound with no problem & I reentered Canada by private vehicle who two friends shared the driving with my US Passport & eCOPR & the Border Patrol Agent just looked @ it & all the other documents needed & allowed me to reenter Canada without any problem at all. So I guess this answers the question many of us had that you can reenter Canada with a private vehicle by Land Border if you have the eCOPR.

Hi, I hold an Indian Passport with US and Canadian Visa and Canadian WP, can i fly from India to US and then enter Canada by road with my Ecopr?

From what I understand once Ecopr is generated my visa and work permit will get voided.

For now i am waiting for my Ecopr and PR card but i need to travel to India due to a medical emergency. If anyone is in the same boat or has been in a similar situation please do share your insights.

You can enter canada via land on private vehicle or you can walk and cross.
At Delhi airport airline did ask me for a return ticket from USA but I told them that I have a Pr of canada (showed ECOPR)and I’m heading there. And at Us immigration and canada border just show ecopr and passport and you are good.

Impossible unless you happen to hold a US passport.

You'll have no issues re-entering Canada.

It says so on their website that if you're in a private vehicle you don't need the PR card or a prtd
