No no, I'm an idiot don't worry. What happened was the 2013 loads on opening the link, so someone added their username there and it started with an M, so I thought it was you, but it wasn't Matt the Aussie. So I removed it and started typing your info in the 2014 workbook. After I did that, I arranged by the date column so everything would be in order and then I saw Matt the Aussie twice (the one you typed in, and I). So I just removed the one I wrote as the landing place was based on the user I thought was you and the dates were giving me issues. So basically don't worry your lively hood is not in jeopardy. :p
lol good to know :)

If there is a way of doing that, let me know as well..
Hi HolyGun,

Yea I have already applied for it as I had planned to go to Miami on May 23 before I became a PR and so had everything booked
I flag poled on 18th of April and applied the very next week, the application reached CIC on 25th April, so hoping they have 4 weeks I might get my card before I travel.

You can got cic.gc.ca -> Urgent PR card processing, you can apply for it until you can provide proof of your travel and your travel date is more than 3 weeks within the next 3 months

Talked to CIC call centre and got informed that there is no way to get urgent processing for new card applications.

Yea I am not sure as well,I just applied for it taking a chance. Where did you read about the 48 hours response rule ?

As from what I read under the 'Urgent PR card processing' they said you can check for your application status after 10 business days of them receiving it.

Also if you check the application form it did have the option to select - Application for 1 new PR card, I remember checking that box, as there were 3 options
- Application for 1 new PR card
- Lost PR card
- never received or stolen PR card

Let see what happens next week, if it shows in my status then mostly they would have accepted the application if not then cant do much :(

are you from a visa exempt country? If yes then you need not worry i guess then you can just say that you are going to Can to visit and when you land just enter with your COPR. officially one needs PR card as that is the only valid proof, but if the airlines allows you to board and when you land, in Canada you can enter with the COPR

I submitted an application for Urgent Processing Last night. This morning got an email from them saying that, for us there is no urgent option. It is only for renewals.

You applied online? as I did via Regular mail

Havent heard anything back may be they might return the application if that is the case and once it does come back I need to think about my refund of $50, see if that comes back ;D ;D ;D

Why did you pay $50??? you are a new immigrant everything is free of charge???

When you land at the border they automatically send PR card to you.

Free of charge? :) I think the processing fee of $550 and the RPRF of $490 is not free of charge Haha ;D ;D

Yea it is free if you wait for the card with the normal process, looking at the application instructions it looked like if they were to process an Urgent application the fees needs to be paid. So irrespective did everything on my part, I guess now just wait and watch till next week if anything happens.
