To Canada via USA
Hi
I have Canadian PR and still waiting for my PR Card
I had to travel back to Australia
Do I need PR Travel Document if I want to enter Canada through USA?

Re: To Canada via USA
No but you need to apply for the ESTA to enter the USA. In cases like this I would have a copy of my COPR with me though to satisfy the Americans. Are you returning on a return portion of a ticket or will it be a one way?

It depends on how you are travelling from the USA to Canada: plane/boat/bus/train or private vehicle over the land border.
