Pre-booked travel after PR final interview

[marieinmexico]

Hello forum!
I finally got notice of a PR final interview! Woohoo! But there is one problem...I have pre-booked travel outside of Canada on the 55th day after the interview, and they say that I must inform them of any travel within 60 days after. They tell me that I may not be able to get back in to Canada, because I won't have a PR card yet, and they will take my visa/study permit at the interview.

They give me two options:
1. Reschedule your appointment to after you have returned to Canada from your travels.

2. Attend your appointment prior to your travels as scheduled, and apply for a PRTD once you are overseas. This is recommended for those who will be staying at an affixed overseas address for a relatively prolonged period of time, giving the issuing overseas Visa office enough time to process your PRTD application.

What do you recommend? I don't understand the second option, what are it's benefits? The place I am going to (for 6 days), is a vacation resort that I never plan to return to.

Thanks for any help or clarification!
best,
marie

The second option is not an option in your case.

What it essentially says is you leave without a card, and stay somewhere else long enough to get a PR travel document. Since there are no timelines for PRTDs, and you are only travelling for six days, you won't get a PRTD in time.
