Hi all!
I tried to search for a post similar to mine but wasn’t able to get anything exact.
My PR card expired in Oct of this year. I applied for a renewal and the documents arrived there August 20th. I have a short 24 hour trip planned to Portland on January 3rd which was planned before I realized how long receiving my PR card would take. I am now obviously thinking it will not come in time especially with the holidays approaching. I initially thought I would have to cancel my trip if my card doesn’t come in time, but after researching, I’ve read that if entering back through private vehicle I will not need my PR card. I live in Vancouver so I will be driving down.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I know my status is definitely valid as I’ve been living in Canada for over 20 years.
I will note that this trip is not essential at all and it is purely for recreation.
