Qorax or anybody ; About PR card.

[coolbreeze]

Hello ,

I recently got my visa but I can only spend a week in canada at this point.

Is it ok if I have an acquaintance in canada FEDEX me the PR card to India when it arrives.

What could be the potential problems if I do that? I read somewhere there could be photograph issues.

I will appreciate qorax or anyone else advising me on that.

thanks.

Yes it is OK to have a friend Fedex the card to you.
Photo issues are rare.

1. I have a theory that the 'photo issue' generally crops-up with ppl who do not remain in Canada. But, it's purely an unsubstantiated personal opinion.
2. Though it's not advocated by CIC, but many do courier the PRCs overseas w/out a prob. Usually it's safe.
3. However, if it's 'lost in transit' - then?
4. It's thus, a better idea that someone gets it to u personally.
5. Nonetheless, u can always obtain a PRTD to reEnter Canada, later.

Dear Qorax,

I made my landing along with my wife on May17th via border crossing. My wife who is the primary applicant has received her PR card and I am yet to receive it.
Do you know any phone numbers I can call to talk to someone and find out if there is any issue?

Thx,
Jang
