ETA is not required for permanent residents of Canada, so no additional barriers besides the existing ones are put in place, as far as I understand. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=1050&t=16

1. Hard to say. For us, it took about two weeks, but this was back in 2013. You should still take this route, as there is a realistic chance to get your new PR before your departure. 2. Really. All of them. 3. Go to the certified translator. 5. You have your confirmation email, I presume? It...

To qualify for urgent processing, you must be: travelling in the next three months, and returning to Canada on a commercial vehicle, like an airplane, train, boat or bus. Thus, you do not qualify yet for urgent processing.

Your hunch is incorrect. The worst that can happen is that you are reported at the point of entry for failing to comply with RO. If you are reported, you will be called to a hearing within 30 days to make your case why you should be allowed to keep your PR status. If your arguments are not...

Do not expect to be sent anything except the actual card (or the letter requesting to pick up in person). You can check your status online with your PR card as ID number.

Plane tickets only in our case, no further explanations.

1. I would copy all pages of both passports. 2. I have translated only the stamps within the 5 yr timeframe.

We received our letter with the appointment date that was after the travel date (urgent processing). Went to the St Claire office without appointment in the morning, received the card, no hassle. So it can be done.

You can only use prepaid at the Whirlpool brdg, and you have to do the first payment physically at the booth on the US side. From then on, you can fill your account online. You can use the nexus card at any other bridge after that to pay toll, or you can pay cash like everyone else (although...

No, kept it until the new one arrived.

Done it; changed the passport a few months after the pr card name change. Used local ON documents to support the pr card change + marriage certificate.

They ask for the provincially issued documents showing your preferred spelling; thus, it may be difficult to achieve. However, I would call them and ask.

There is normally no exit border control when travelling from the US, and Canada would not care about ESTA.

I used a separate piece of paper, titled it 'Travel History - Continued from Section XX (whatever the number was)' and followed the same table format.

It's really your call, there are no requirements for that. We changed the Canadian documents (including the new PR card) first for my wife, then applied for her name change in her country of citizenship (a fairly lenghty process).

Changing the Canadian documents such as DL and health card is really easy - essentially, you just show them your marriage certificate. Then you may apply for the new PR card, with all the required documents for name change procedure (copy of two provincial documents showing your new last name +...

Read a lot of useful info on the forum; decided to share the information which may be useful to some. This was a PR card renewal for a EU citizen with only a handful of short absences from Canada, but with a lot of US border stamps (we go shopping to Buffalo often, and for visitors from a...
