Activating COPR

[Sarantos]

Hi all,

I received my CoPR currently in Ontario. My TRV is expiring end of this month. I’m looking in activating my CoPR by going Dominican Republic for vacation and returning. Is it ok to do so by activating it at Pearson airport ?

If you receive your COPR then I am pretty sure your TRV is cancelled. You have to wait for the PR card then you can go out. Otherwise you have to arrange travel documents!

But I haven’t activated my CoPR yet in order to receive the PR card. So that’s why I need to cross Canada border to activate it.

After a mexico vacation back into Calgary worked for me.

When you get your CoPR, you now have a Permanent Resident visa, which is valid for 1 entry. So you're free to go and when you come back, you show the letter and whatever else is necessary and boom - now you're a permanent resident
