Hi All,

Found this on the CIC website...might be useful

You require urgent processing of your Permanent Resident Card application
If you have not mailed your application:

Complete your application as instructed in How to apply for your Permanent Resident Card on this page.

Include a photocopy of your travel tickets or e-ticket with your application, and write “Urgent—Proof of travel included” on your envelope. An agent from the processing centre will examine your application quickly. Your travel itinerary or e-ticket will only be accepted as proof of travel if you also include proof of payment.

If you sent your application by courier or registered mail:

If it has been longer than the “received up to” date posted on our website and you have not yet received your card, please send us the following information by fax at 514-496‑8670:

•the date you mailed your application, the company you used, the date it was received and the confirmation number
•a photocopy of your plane, bus, train or boat ticket (if not available, then a travel itinerary or e-ticket with proof of payment)
•your surname and given name
•your client ID number (if available)
•your date of birth
•your home address
•your daytime telephone number (this is the number at which CIC will call you about your request for urgent processing) and
•your email address (if applicable).
We will examine your request and contact you within two business days to inform you whether it is possible to speed up the process.

If you sent your application by regular mail:

If it has been longer than the “received up to” date posted on our website since you submitted your application and you have not yet received your card, you may mail a new application, including:

•a photocopy of your plane, bus, train or boat ticket (if not available, then a travel itinerary or e-ticket with proof of payment)
•all supporting documents (you will have to replace pictures and certified copies)
•a photocopy of your receipt of payment form (IMM 5401) or electronic receipt and
•an explanation letter with your personal information, client ID number and the reason you are re-sending your application.
Also:

•write “Urgent—Proof of travel included” on your envelope
•use registered mail or a courier service (optional).
Or:

•you can apply for a Travel Document at a Canadian Mission abroad.
For more information, you can check application processing times. You can also read the service standard for an initial PR Card. This details the specific level of service you can expect to receive under normal circumstances. You can also contact the CIC Call Centre at 1-888-242-2100
