Hi guys, hope you could help me with this.

My husband's PR card expired late last year. He applied for renewal months before his card expired but until now, cic hasn't released his new PR card. We think it's because cic has been prioritizing Syrian refugees.

His application for PR card renewal has been in process for more than a year already (imagine that!) but we've learned that it just usually takes about 2-3months to renew.

Because of the delay in his PR renewal, we haven't seen each other for over a year! But he really wants to come home to the Philippines to visit me.

Here are my questions:
1. Can my husband exit Canada without a valid PR card?
2. How can he return to Canada without a valid PR card? I read somewhere that you have to apply for a travel document.
3. Does anyone here know the processing time for a travel document in the Philippines?
 
1. Yes - he can exit.
2. He can re-enter without a PR card or travel document provided he holds a visa exempt passport. Otherwise he needs a valid PR card or travel document.
3. Post this question in the PR obligation section of the forum.
