Hi,

I am a Canadian PR card holder. I came to USA for a week and unfortunately I have lost my PR card.

I am supposed to fly back to Toronto in a couple of days. I have a scanned copy of my PR card with me.

Has anyone been in this situation? Looking for any help possible.

Thanks.

Are you a US passport holder? If not, what passport do you hold?

If you hold a non-visa exempt passport, you need a PR card or travel document to board a plane back to Canada. You can apply for a travel document - I don't think it will be ready in time for your flight and you will have to delay your return. Or, assuming you have your COPR with you, you can travel to a US/Canada land border and cross by land using a private vehicle.

I don't believe the airline will let you board without a physical PR card or a travel document.
