Flight soon, please help!

Hi all,

I have a question!

SO I have a flight+all inclusive resort booked from Nov 9th to Nov 16th for my sister's wedding.
I had to renew both my passport and permanent resident card (I'm originally from the UK and hold a valid UK passport) my passport came back in time but the card did not.

Now it's looking like I'm going to have to make the trip without it and I'm absolutely terrified. The flight is with the airline Sunwing.. I'm so worried I'm going to get denied bording or denied into the destination country.. which is Cancun Mexico.

What are your thoughts!? What issues do you think i might run into??

Any info you have for me would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Your real problem and others can comment will be boarding a plane to come back as you need either a PR card or a PRTD to board a flight to Canada.. Explained here

Agreed. You need either a valid PR card or a PR Travel Document to board the flight home. Unfortunately you can't apply for a PRTD until you are outside of Canada on your trip. A week long trip may give you enough time to get a PRTD - but I don't know if that's guaranteed.

Without a PR card or PRTD, on the way home, you would need to fly to the US instead and then re-enter Canada through a US/Canada land border using a private vehicle. Flying directly to Canada won't be possible.

I know I think that will absolutely be my problem, I'll be denied bording.

Problem is the passport office is in New Mexico and I'm really far from there and only have seven days so I doubt a travel doc will be an option. I could fly back into the state's and walk over the border as my closest horde e

I am for sure going to consider flying into the state's as home is only 45m from Niagara falls in which case I'll fly into buffalo and try to cross there but what I didn't understand is how am I able to fly into the us but not Canada?

As a UK passport holder you will need to get an ESTA to fly into the US regardless even if you had a PR card. As per this link if entering US by land or sea then just your passport as you would fill out an i94 at the border.
