Hi cpoon I always thought that PR Travel Document is issued quickly but you have stated that you had to cancel your PRTD application as it seems to take longer than 4 months. The reason I am asking this is my PR Card application has been approved and I am scheduled to pick it up in about 2...

Hi CIC counts any part of a day spent in Canada counts as one full day. If you are counting the hours over Canada in the air then I think you are cutting it too close. Leave a couple of more days and then apply for PR Renewal or Citizenship. For flights its best to use the departure day/time...

Yes...Scylla is right about attending school. Any attempt to apply for professional certification, university courses requires a valid PR Card. All jobs in universities, colleges and government institutions require a valid PR Card. Looks like if you managed to get a PRTD and enter Canada you...

Use the Client ID. This is the number in the front of the PR Card XXXX-XXXX. This should work

Hi Just to check...for a PRTD we should submit the original passports but the PR Card is also one of the documents requested. Do we submit the card or can I make a photocopy for submission? Thanks for any input Regards Fred

Hi Can I just colour photocopy the passport pages with stamps and black/white photocopy the rest of the passport pages without stamps OR do I have to colour photocopy all 64 pages of the passport. I have 2 passports to copy. The reason is cost......can be quite expensive to colour copy all...

Thank you all for your input...I will do the following 1. Colour photocopy all passport pages 2. Translate only pages with non English & non French stamps Best Regards Fred

Just a few quick question... 1. it is stated that photocopies of all passport pages must be submitted. Can I scan the passport pages then put the images on a Word document and print 4 passport pages to one A4 sheet (black & white copies). 2. To notarize 1 A4 sheet might be like $10 and 1...

Hi I always thought that the COPR was concrete proof for permanent residency. It has been suggested many times in this forum that you don't need a PR card if you do not need to travel outside Canada and you can show the COPR instead as proof of status in Canada. With the expiry date...the...

Hi Technically you can take the next flight home. Just leave a Canadian address of a friend so that the PR card/s can be sent there and your friend can courier them back to you. Personally when a landed a while ago, I stayed in Canada for about 6 weeks. That was the good old days when newly...

Hi You have 730 days in Canada in the preceding 5 years. You have nothing to worry about. The system is not designed to penalize anyone who has made a home in Canada. I am sure you have made a good home....... Best Regards Fred

Hi Please do not be overly worried. Let us know once you get into Canada, I am thinking everything should be ok. Best of Luck Fred

Hi You do have one major concern and that is when you land in Canada with an expired PR card; there is a chance you might be reported for failing residency obligation. If you get in with a PR Card then your concerns about college admission begins. The lady you have been speaking to at the...

Hi I just received my goods to follow. I went to Customs Canada and gave them the documents forwarded to me by the shipper. They asked to see receipts for the items, stamped my COPR on the reverse...out in 5 minutes. No Charge. The items in your list belong to the family so I think it should...

Thanks for the quick response I have checked that for license renewal you need only one primary & one secondary ID. The existing license is a primary ID and the existing health card is a secondary ID. You can use the PR card as a primary ID but it must not have expired. So it might be true...
