Landing query ?

[nitin15in]

Hi All,

As a PR stamping one will have to enter Canada before expiry date. Presently I work and reside in India .
My intention is to get into Canada, stay for few weeks (depending on how many I can take off from my job)
and after that get back to my present residence in India and start looking for options in Canada.

From my understanding, after one has landed in Canada and intends to leave (travel outside)
Canada (like my case) first must obtain a permanent resident card (PRC) that will allow him/her
to go out and come back into Canada without any worries. I have looked on the internet and found out
that the process of obtaining such a card can last from 30 days to more than 6 weeks in some cases,
time that I believe I might not have at my disposal.

Based on the above I would like to ask some question hoping that someone could give me answers that
could help me taking decisions


1>.If i do not collect my PR Card will i re enter canada and How ? If i go there and apply for a card
and provide address of a friend will that do solve the problem?

If you cannot wait until your PR card is ready, then you have two choices:

1) Apply for a travel document from India that will allow you to re-enter Canada once you are ready to return.

2) Have a friend in Canada mail your PR card to you in India once the card is ready.
