PR card prolongued from abroad, du to covid. But different dates for me end my husband.

[ritaka]

We were abroad when covid started, and before we could return my husband got sick. So we stayed abroad past the day that our PR card needed to be renewed. We applied for the special prolongation during covid lockdown. We got our passports back with an extended date and I saw in my passport that I could return until December 2022. Now we are planning for our return to Canada, and I checked the passports. To find that my husbands passport has another date, June 2022. I never noticed that before because we applied together, sent the passports together, and always traveled together. So I only checked my own passport, and my then sick husband just assumed his would have the same date. (there are more differences, like I have many entries and my husband just the one. (we did go back and forth a bit, so mine is right, his is not. I don't know why, a mistake somewhere I guess). It's stupid that I did not check this before, but I just assumed that it would be the same as my own passport. Anyway, we're shocked because that would mean we cannot go back because my husbands PR has expired. Anyone experienced something similar?

Your PR cards were not extended. You applied for PR Travel Documents and that's what was approved.

There are various reasons why you may have been given two different dates. It probably was not a mistake but on purpose.

Your husband needs to apply for another PR Travel Document since his first one has expired. The only alternative is to fly to the US and then re-enter Canada through a land border.
