Hi All,

I have landed in Canada on 1st June to activate my PR and process my PR card. Now I have to go ONLY for two week to my home country. I don't have a valid visa to come back and I am not from visa exempt country.

I want to know what are my options :

> Do I need to apply for visitor visa ? Can I apply visa while I am in Canada or I need to apply once I reach my home country.
> Just wait for PR card to come back.


Specifically wanted to know if anyone has done something similar before.

Since you are a permanent resident, you can't apply for visitor visa.

> Just wait for PR card to come back.

Yes, that's option #1. Wait for the PR card and THEN travel, or option #2, leave Canada and apply for
a travel document from outside Canada in order to return to Canada.

How about this


I have a USA visitor visa , Can I go to my home country from Canada and come back from home country --> USA and then to Canada by driving ?
 
or another option is to come through US and enter Canada via land border crossing along with your COPR in a personal vehicel if you have a valid US visa...

Yes, if you have a valid US visa, then you can do that. You can use the CPR to enter Canada at a land crossing if you travel
in a private vehicle ( your car or rental car, or someone car. some commercial carriers require a valid visa for Canada to let
you board the vessel and the CPR is not a valid visa ).
