Currently in canada and my passport expired. I have my valid PR card. The consulate wants a proof of status to process the new passport. Proof of status from IRCC is taking forever. I am stuck in canada. Is there anyway to get the proof of status faster. I really need the passport to go to my home country. I assumed PR card was the proof of status. The waiting is eating me.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hello,

Your valid PR card (un expired) itself is the proof of status in Canada, I am not sure what you are requesting from IRCC for a proof. if your passport is expired you can apply for a new one with a valid PR card and expired passport.

If you are in a urgency for travel to India, you can apply for an emergency certificate which can be issued in 24-48 hours, it is used as a one way travel.

Thanks

Hi. I want ro submit my passport for renewal. I was planning to do a walkin at the Toronto BLS. If I go on a weekday, how early do I need to reach?
I am a PR, do I have to give a Canadian address to be printed? I don’t want to change the address on my passport and to avoid a police verification. I want to apply under tatkla and get the passport ASAP. Is there a way around?

For Walk-In, Better to Apply at BLS Brampton. go on weekdays and try to reach around 6:30 AM to get done with the process before 9-10 AM.

Canadian Address will be needed if on PR and most likely you can't apply under Tatkal for any change in the passport. even if there's a way around it, there are chances that your application will get returned back or delayed processing time.
