I landed in October 2015, went home for Christmas (am visa exempt so could return without the PR card in January), but it looks like I'm now going to need a PRTD. The PR cards are taking forever, a lot of people who landed at the same time as me are getting requests for new photos (apparently CIC changed the photo specs requirement on November 1 2015 so the ones submitted are no longer good enough).
My issue is I'm going on vacation for a week in April (not to my home country) and as of March 15th, I cannot just return on my passport. Is there a way to apply for a PRTD from within Canada? The form I found specifies applying from abroad and needs to be sent to the CIC office of my home country - apparently once I go back there and the travel document will be sent there. So obviously this isn't going to work when I'm going to be on the opposite side of the world for only one week... Ideas? Advice? Please?
