Work permit inside canada

[LSilva]

Didn’t you just get COPR? Why do you need closed work permit?

Because I can not leave Canada without a valid permit. My previous WP expired in July 2023 and I have no idea when my PR card will arrive.

If you applied for a PR Card then you are PR. You are not eligible for a WP. If you want to leave, then having a WP doesn’t allow entry anyways. You need a PRTD to re-enter Canada if you don’t have PR card.

I have not applied for PR card. I just received my COPR number, but have not received my Portal 1 yet. In that case, if my work permit had already been approved, I'd be able to leave Canada. My ECOPR has not yet been generated. These are different things.

But what does having a WP approved have to do about you leaving Canada? You can leave without a WP. A WP doesn’t allow entry to Canada. I don’t think IRCC is not going to approve a WP if you COPR number.

I know that a WP does not allow me to enter Canada, but my ETA does. But if I don't have a valid Work Permit, when I return, I won't be allowed to return to my job.

But I don’t think IRCC is going to process your WP because you have COPR number. You are approved for PR so no need for WP.
