I wanted to get some guidance regarding the possibility of travel to the US in a personal car for about 10 days while awaiting for my eCOPR. I have submitted the information and photos for the PR Confirmation Portal (P2 mail) on 30-Dec. Now waiting for IRCC to review the submission and the eCoPR to be issued. As it seems, the eCOPR issuance is currently taking anywhere between a couple of weeks to a couple of months.
During this wait time, I was wanting to travel to the US by car for about 10 days and wanted to get some feedback regarding the same, specifically for the below questions:
- If the eCOPR is issued whilst I am in the US, can that be a problem later on and cause the PR to be invalidated?
- Ideally I should inform IRCC via mail / webform about travelling out. But this will put my eCOPR processing on hold and I am not keen to delay this process by putting it on hold. Since this involves land travel between US and Canada, I understand that the rules are a bit simpler about entry and exit records so will IRCC be informed that I am not in Canada when I enter US or re-enter Canada? Is it safe to travel without raising the webform?
- As per my understanding, since I have a valid WP and TRV so I should be able to use the same to reenter Canada. In case my eCOPR is issued during my travel, I can use the same to reenter Canada since I'll be using the land border. Hope I am correct in this assumption.
- Any other guidance / inputs on this would be welcome especially if someone has gone through this process.
