Hi,
My car was broken into yesterday and my wallet with my PR card in it got stolen.
I have a trip planned to the states (October 12-19, Vegas - LA) and I applied for a new PR card today.
Here is my situation:
- PR was newly issued in July 2019
- CoPR paper is lost
- copy of my the PR card is with my previous employer (in the process of retrieving it)
- New card application was submitted with 'Urgent' sign on it
- I have the provincial driver's license
- I have a Korean passport (visa-exempt)
if anyone could spare some time to answer my questions below, that would be greatly appreciated (I am extremely stressed and frustrated with the whole situation...
1. PR card processing time says 21 days - is there any possibility of them getting it processed any earlier than that if I marked it 'urgent'?
2. Does anybody have experience with getting the temporary travel document at the LA office? I only get the generic information from them and when I called, it was all automated voice.
3. I know if I don't have an actual PR card with me, I won't be able to board. So.. I am going to rent a car and drive from Seattle to Abbotsford. I called the border office and they couldn't give me a clear answer as to what I need to bring and if I will be able to enter Canada. Does anybody have any experience to share or knowledge?
Here is the website that says I don't need PR card if I enter by land:

Does anybody know who got rejected to enter Canada in this situation? (I read some stories where ppl with expired PR status was rejected to enter Canada but I am not sure if that is appliable to me)
Thank you all for your time and help!!!!!!!
