Dear Admin & forum
I am a new immigrant of Canada (landed before 45 days). Today is the 32 business day according to the calendar but I have not received my PR card. I am in Scarborough ON with my wife & daughters.
Some of the people here are telling nowadays government is sending PR card after 6 month or 4 months or long.
But the CIC website is showing 35 business days. I have not received my PR card till date. On my arrival the visa officer told me that I will get my PR card in 4 to 6 weeks.
Now my mother at India is ill & she needs me & my family because she is alone there.
The lending papers are the only documents I am having with me.
So I need your advice.
(1) What should I do? Should I still wait for 35 business days to be completed or I should directly go to CIC office?
(2)If I have to go in emergency what should I do? & how can I come back to Canada without any interruptions?
(3)If I will go back to my country, will they cancel my permanent residency status?
Plz send me information as soon as possible. I am confused & need immediate help.
Thanking you in anticipation & remain..
 
If somebody is there at your address that will take delivery of your PR card when it arrives in the mail, they can send it to you in India by fed ex or ups and you can use it to return to Canada.

If you don't have anybody at your address who will do that, you can leave without the PR card but you must apply for a PR travel document at the Canadian embassy in your homeland in order to be able to return.

They will not cancel your PR status because of that.
 
Thank you for your reply,
I am planning to go back to my country with the help of landing papers & one of my friend who is living at the same address ( that I have given) will receive the PR card and send it to me in India.
Now another question arise
(1) Is there any possibility that CIC will not send me my PR card because I am not physically present in Canada?
(2) Do I need to contact CIC & inform about my travel back?
(3) Someone told me that obtaining travel documents from India is not so easy. Sometimes they refuse to give it especially in case like me when a person is landed in Canada & go back in a 1 or 2 month. I have no job now in Canada.
In such case I will be finish because I have already left my job in India & wind up my business too. I am planning to go back because my mother is alone & her health is not good having severe heart problem. I am going back just for some month (may be 4 or 5 month) .
I am totally confused plz help me & my family...
Urgently need your advice.. because on the basis of that I have to take the decision.
Thank you
 
1. It is possible that they will ask you if you plan to be at the friends address when the PR card arrives in the mail. If you say no, it is possible that they will decide to refuse the address and withhold the card until you are back to stay. If they do, you can enter Canada, wait a couple of days and then phone the CIC call centre and say that you did not have an address at the time you landed but now you do and you want to update your information with them so they can mail you your PR card. Then give your friends address.

2. No, you do not have to inform CIC about your travels in and out of Canada.

3. What "someone" told you is wrong. The only thing they look at is if you meet the residency requirements. Sure if you go back to India, stay for over 3 years and then try to apply for a travel document, they will most likely refuse as you do not meet the residency requirement but if you are a PR for less than 3 years, you still have the chance to meet them so they must issue it.
