Dear All,

We expect to land toronto (on PR) and return back after 6 weeks to go back again in 2012.
My question is it true that i can apply for faster processing by informing them that i will be in canada about 6 weeks
to prove that i can produced the return ticket which i already bought?
Please Advice

Hi Sagara

I'm very happy to hear about you getting the PR and all the very best to you in all you future endeavours in Canada

I also applied under ICT 0213 in Sep 2009 and my case is still in process!! I sent a lot of emails asking why and not a single reasonable reply!

Can I please ask you, did you have to do anything to speed up your application status or what was your communications were like with them at the embassy in Colombo?

Thanks

Incidentally what's the fastest the PR cards ever get issued?

I know it's a big ask, but we are in Canada for 13 days and it would be very handy if they arrived before we flew back to the UK I appreciate it's usually at least 4+ weeks.

Wayne.

Currently the wait time for the first time PR is around 40 business days; that's 8 weeks or sometimes more since they just send it through Canada post snail mail.  Telling them that you would not be in Canada long enough to collect the PR and that you would return for good later may not be a good idea.  Coz they may suspend processing of the PR card and ask u to return for good and then have the card processed.  This does not affect your PR status, the card's for getting u into Canada.  Without a valid PR card u could always reenter using the travel document.  Best thing is to just give them a Canadian address and have ur friend courier it to u, if u need to leave b4 the card arrives...
