So I goofed up big time.... :-[
Though I would surprise my mom with a one week family winter vacation to Mexico over Christmas break......Our departure is December 18th. Little did I know that her Spanish passport is valid but her PR card expired this summer. So we quickly got all the paper work together and sent it in on Nov 21st for Urgent processing as per the instructions on the website. As of yesterday the paperwork was correct and accepted for urgent processing. My mom has lived in Canada full time since the early 70's and will not have any issues getting past boarder security in Canada. The only thing I am scared about is having trouble boarding the flight with the charter company back from Mexico. I know Spain is a visa exempt country but the Canadian Immigration website makes it sound like she WILL NOT be allowed to board the plane back into Canada without a valid PR card? This is very stressful situation as a great winter get away surprise has is not working out how I had hoped....Any advice?
Thanks in advance!
