What if i come back without PR card after landing..

[Hot-Lier]

Hi Seniors.........

I just wanted to confirm that what happens, if i complete the landing formalities in Canada and after staying there for one week,return back to my country. And return to Canada after one year. Is it easy to get a travel document from local high commission in this case.

U are right about the travel document.

Yes, it is quite easy to get it, called 'PRTD' [Temp. Travel Document for a PR]. It costs $50 & can be obtained from your local CHC, w/out any difficulty.

Accounts,

There r plenty of cases when a landed immigrant (now called the permanent resident) needs to return back, without waiting for 30-45 days in Canada, due to his preoccupation, whatever it may be.

In such a scenario he cannot get his PR card, as the PR card processing times can be anything from 30-60 days. The PR card, officially, should take 4-6 weeks, but can be longer due to admin reasons. Plz see: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/canada/process-in.asp#pr_card

So, how do we come back?
Returning to Canada without a PR Card:
The process in such cases is that one needs to apply for a 'PRTD-A31 (3)' (Temp. PR Travel Document) at the local CHC. It costs CAD 50. Details of it is provided at the 'Manual for Permanent Resident Card' (ENF 27). Plz see section 5.2. 'General conditions for persons applying for a card' page 12 & 13. Which can also be found at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/enf/enf27-eng.pdf

Quote/ ...However, in cases where travel plans do not allow for the processing of a PR card on an expedited basis, clients have the alternative of applying at a visa office abroad for a temporary travel document issued under A31(3), prior to their return. This procedure requires a fee payment of $50, as well as a determination of their permanent resident status (see OP 10, section 7). Visa offices maintain a high-quality service standard for the issuance of PRTDs, and seek to facilitate the return travel of legitimate permanent residents to Canada, wherever possible. /Unquote

I am not a senior, but here are my 2 cents

Just chill it out man! Stay there for another couple of weeks and come back wit PR card. Alternatively, have someone DHL your PR card to your country.
