Hello all, I've been in a situation that my PR card got expired since April 2019 and I didn't realize so I went on a trip to Vietnam and at the end of my vacation, I couldn't get back to Canada because my PR card was expired. I found out that I can get Travel Document for my PR card. I have gathered all the documents. I just wonder how long the process is going to take because it's pretty urgent and I need to get back to Canada to go to work. Any help would be appreciated.

If have US visa, you can return to Canada by land. Otherwise contact the visa office in Vietnam.

Could be looking at weeks to process if any other countries are anything to go by hence the US land border option assuming you have a US visa of course plus the extra air cost.

There even is no published process time for a PRTD

Hello all, in case some people is wondering, I received my PRTD within 5 days.

- Monday, January 20: Send Package
- Friday, January 24: Received my PRTD

Also may be I wrote them a letter to explain my urgency and also because that was the last week before they close for Lunar New Year.

Booked a flight the next day and back to Toronto safely :)
