Hello
I have an urgent question. I hope anyone could help me here.
I booked a flight for tomorrow afternoon to pick up my PR card in Canada. My PR card was expired last November and I was going to use my Korean passport for airline check-in and present my expired PR card and appointment letter from the immigration at the entry of Canada.
But I just found out I will need a permanent resident travel document since I have expired PR card and new eTA closed old loophole.
Should I take a chance hoping airline will let me go though? I have to drive two hours to airport and drive back for another two hours if boarding denied.
How strict airlines are? Since I have all documents with me (original landing document, expired pr card, appointment letter from immigration), airline might let me on? Should I go to airport and try anyway? Or there's no doubt I would be just wasting time driving for four hours?
Please advise me. Thanks in advance!
FYI, I have been maintaining my pr card for the past 7 years accompanying Canadian spouse in America. (I have a green card as well.) This was my second PR card renewal.
