The below are the documents required to apply for PR-TD from VFS Canada India Bangalore, for each family member.

Please note that RED colored documents are not listed in VFS website but one has to fill them, so it's better to ask them to send an unfilled one by mail and take the filled one. Else you might have to take an hour to fill them in VFS office since they require many details about family members.

PRTD valid for 6 months with single entry? If we don,t meet RO then it may take more time?

We got the passports back yesterday. It has taken exactly 1 week, or 5 working days from VFS submission to receipt of passports. Validity of 6 months, but I'm not sure if its single or multiple entry. I guess it is multiple entry.

To my knowledge, PRTD is always a single (ONE) entry visa.

 

[ttrajan]

Yes. It may be cancelled upon entry to Canada.

PRTD is for cases when one cannot wait till PR card is issued right? In such cases, do you have to inform any authority during landing to not issue PR Card and that one would be going out of Canada?

To my knowledge, PRTD is always a single (ONE) entry visa.

It need not be always a single entry. Refer the link below, if we have sufficient reasons we can also get a multiple-entry PR TD. Maybe what you intended to say was "PRTD is usually or normally a single entry".

Travel document counterfoils are normally issued for a single entry to Canada. If you meet the residency obligation but are residing outside of Canada on a long-term basis (for example, if you are a permanent resident accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse), you may want to request a long-term multiple entry travel document. To do so, you should include a cover letter explaining your circumstances and requesting a multiple entry travel document. These can be issued for up to five years but cannot extend beyond the expiry date of your passport.

Thanks for posting this. I am traveling from Toronto to Blore in Aug without my PR card and have to apply for PRTD.
So the form is IMM5524E right? You print the form and fill the info?
What should be the answer for this question, Time spent in Canada? Which is the date when you become PR. Is it the day we do the landing?

Please clarify, Also where I can find the below forms:

Consent Form of VFS
Family Information sheet filled and signed
