What a great video but im a bit confused. Do i need PRTD even though I am an outland applicant? And i just got my copr. thank you so much for answering
Thanks for the kind words. PRTD is required if you are a permanent resident and don't have a valid PR card to re-enter Canada. The reasons for not having a valid PR card could that you didn't received ypu first PR card (your case), or lost or stolen or expired PR card. COPR is not valid for re-entry to Canada
@@zindagikegolgappe Hi, actually its my first time entering canada because I got approved for my pr application. Since COPR is not travel document, what document do I need or visa annd COPR will do since its my first time flying in CAN.
No. PRTD is only required if you don't have a valid (not expired) PR card to return back to Canada. Kindly think of subscribing to the channel if you like the content. Thanks
Hello, I am from Afghanistan. I entered Canada by land on March 2, 2023 without a passport and applied for asylum. The court decision was positive on October 31, 2023 and I applied for a PR card. I just received an email saying that I applied. And in this email, it says that my application has been sent and that they will contact me later. By the way, I applied for a travel document and it arrived a week ago. Can I go back and forth to Turkey without any problems with my travel document and court decision? or what do I need to go back and forth without any problems? Thank you.
You can enter Canada if you have a Canadian Passport or Valid PR Card or a valid visa (like study, work.or tourist). Apart from all the above you will have to apply for PRTD from the country you visit.
Hi, This is such an informative video. Highly appreciate if you could tell where can I find the application number of the submitted PRTD ? and How to check the application status? Thank you in Advance!!
Thanks for the appreciation. Unfortunately to get the application number you have to call ircc call center. In online applications you don't get the application number right away. Once the ircc customer service tell you the application number than you can create an online ircc account and link your application with the number to know the status
Hi, thanks for sharing this video. I have a few questions: 1. I have lost my PR card and haven't yet reported it lost to the police - any idea how long this process takes and where should I ideally get it done from? 2. When I applied for my PR card renewal in April 2024, I was single. I just got married 3 weeks ago (civil ceremony) but I do not have a marriage certificate yet as I can only apply for it after a 10-12 week period as per the officiant who did our ceremony - do I have to prove that I am married in the PRTD form? If yes, how do I do this in my current situation, please? 3. My wedding in India is due in December for which I am travelling on Nov 25th, 2024. Since I do not have a PR card now, will I have any problems leaving Canada? If yes, what documents can I take to make my travel smooth here? 4. As it is an online process and I know my return date to Canada, do I still have to wait to reach India and then apply for the PRTD online?
Hello, thanks for appreciation. I will try my best to answer these questions, ,but just to make sure I am not an immigration consultant: 1) You should report it to police immediately ( at any local police station) as the police report is required to renew your PR card. 2) Yea it's complicated, ideally having a marriage certificate is ideal but in your PRTD application you can explain this situation to the officer. 3) You won't have any problem leaving Canada as you have an Indian passport. 4) Have your application ready online and submit it when you reach India as you have to submit your passport copy with exit and entry stamps .
Hello Sir I am planning to visit India after COPR Without PR Card How long does it take for PRTD approval Want to come back to Canada in months time Thank you very much.
I am currently on an open work permit with a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), and my Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Permanent Residency (PR) has been approved. I have received my Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR), and my PR card is being mailed to my Canadian address. However, I need to travel to my home country, India, before my PR card arrives. In this situation, if my PR card is delivered to my Canadian address while I am in India, should I apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) to re-enter Canada?
As you wouldn't have a valid PR card to re-enter Canada, you would have to apply for PRTD. Unless you can ask your friend/relative to personally bring your PR card to you in India.
Hii, I have a question. I got my portal 2 and submitted it in October but didn't receive e-copr but due to some reasons i came to India and called them to hold the application and submitted a webform also. But now two days ago i got a e-copr making pr card mandataory for re-entry so what should i submit in address and work history as i just got pr just 2 days ago.

Hlo sir I am from Halifax, I recently got my PR on June 04 2024. But I still haven’t got my PR card yet and i am going to india this Friday, for 4 weeks. I am thinking to apply for PRTD but I am concerned about the timeline of it. Can you please help me in this.
PRTD normally takes around 6 to 8 weeks but you can request urgent processing explaining your situation. But I would suggest not to book your return tickets unless you receive your PRTD in India.
I have a question. Like I am travelling from Canada on 2nd October there is an option, mention travelling date. So, do I have to mention 2nd oct or the date when i am coming back from India. Moreover, there is one more option have you ever travel outside of Canada that I don't. This is my first time so, which option I should select.
There is no formal confirmation email but an automated generic email just mentioning that your application was submitted. Also online on the PR portal, it should state your application status
You won't be allowed entry back into Canada with your PR travel document. If you don't have your PR card then you will have to apply for PRTDbto return to Canada
Hello I’m confused about this obligation of 760 days. I just recently got my copr n yet to receive the PR card. Would i be having any issues to apply for the PRTD?

Thanks for the appreciation. Yes you can leave Canada no problem and apply for PRTD when coming back. But just be aware that PRTD processing can sometimes take time, so don't book your return tickets until you receive PRTD.
I have got my pr but havent received the card yet and need to be travelling to India, do i need to apply for prtd from india after going or should i apply before leaving to india
@zindagikegolgappe Valuable information thanks for the information. I have applied for PRTD for my wife yesterday on PR portal, after watching your video.

Hello, you should be able to get your PR card before you leave. If not then as your ecopr is expiring before you travel back, it could cause issue in applying for PRTD as you won't have a valid status. Best way would be to get your PR card delivered to India somehow (through a friend or somebody)
I have not received e-copr but have submitted my portal 2 details on Nov 2024, and currently have valid work permit/visa. Can I now apply for PRTD within Canada (as I'm traveling on Jan 10, 2025 for 15 days and returning back) stating that I have not yet received PR just to be sure that I have valid travel document if I receive COPR during my time outside Canada ?
My wife was here on visitor visa , we have applied inland pr and meanwhile she got her spouse open work permit which is valid until dec 2026, now she got her Ecopr and want to travel to home country India, does she require a prtd to come back or can she comeback with work permit ?
Unfortunately I don't have all the knowledge regarding open work permits, but I know this that she will not be able to re-enter Canada solely on open work permit basis. She might need to apply for PRTD

Hey I lost my pr card while travelling to India recently for medical reasons. I was a PR since feb2023, I am confused about meeting the residency obligation, should I apply for humanitarian grounds or show that I can meet residency obligation by showing rental agreement and noa etc.?
Hello, if you lost your PR card, and since you are a new PR, I would suggest apply for PRTD through normal channel (not on humanitarian grounds).
