No PR Card yet... and we have to leave the country in 15 days.

[HarkiranKaur]

Not really getting great feeling on this. Hubby has been here since 13 Jan. No sign of his PR card yet and its now been more than a month. We have to leave on 2 March to go back to India.

Is is safer to have someone here check the mailbox and when it comes, send it by courier to us in India or should we go to the Canadian Consulate in Delhi before we come back to Canada, along with his COPR from this trip and hope they give us a temporary visa to get him back to Canada?

As part of Condition 51 he has to reside with me all the time for the next 2 years and it's me who has to travel to India for work experience that was set up ages ago. And besides I am staying at the in-laws anyway (his family) Makes no sense for him to stay here while I go to India....

I travelled to Egypt without my PR Card. I applied for a travel document once I arrived, took them only 5 days to issue me a Travel document. If you are there for enough time, it will not be an issue. Just see the processing time for a travel document on CIC website.

I believe recent PRTD apps have been taking about 2 weeks in India. If the PR card hasn't arrived by the time you leave, apply for the PRTD as soon as you get to India. You can't apply to the Canadian High Commission; you need to submit your app by mail or in person to a VAC.

Okay VAC means something different to me since I am military (Veterans Affairs Canada) do you mean VFS Global where you apply for TRV etc in India??

The other option instead of travel document was to have a family member check my mail here in Canada, and then once the card comes, have them courier it to India. In worst case scenario though if it gets lost in the courier system or stolen then what? Can we still apply for travel document in that case, and then apply for a replacement card when we return to Canada (worst case scenario)?? I mean there has to be some process in place for lost or stolen cards right??

Of course the passport is still required. The PRTD will be placed in the passport like a visa.

VAC = Visa Application Centre

Yes, you can have someone mail the PR card to you. Yes, you can apply for a PRTD if the card is lost.

Worst case scnario ur hubby did not get PR card as his photo not correct, CIc want new photo and at same time delhi embassy refuse to issue PRDC VISA with reason hubby seems too much free travelling and not making effort to setup and canada his home

??

A PRTD can't be refused for that. Don't comment when you don't know what you are talking about.

OP's spouse will be in compliance with the RO and will be issued a PRTD without issue.
