Hi Everyone,

I am currently outside Canada and last year my PR card that was issued after renewal was lost. Now I have requested the Government to reissue a new PR card which will take time. In order to enter Canada, do I have to apply for PRTD or ?

Thanks so much!

Why did you wait to so long to report your PR card lost?

You will need to be approved for a PRTD to return to Canada via a commercial carrier. The alternative would be to return to Canada via the U.S. (if eligible) in a private vehicle (or on foot) at a land PoE, since having a PR Card is not required by CBSA (but is always recommended to have).

Thanks Ponga,
I will apply for PRTD. My PR card was lost around 30th Nov 2023 as it was mailed to the wrong address while I was outside Canada. Only recently I found out from IRCC helpline about delivery to the wrong address after which I reported PR card loss.

Hello everyone,
I had applied my prtd application on 5th sep. 2023 after that i also submitted web form twice. I got an email 20days back that my prtd application is in new delhi office. Can pls someone help me out ? It is possible that it will take 5 months or more to get the result of prtd application? Also if my application is in new delhi what does that means ?
Thank you

Extremely strange that you did not have to pick up the card in person. When you have been living abroad you typically have to pick up the card in person along with a short interview to make sure you remain compliant with your RO. Are you sure you were not required to pick up the card in person or it was being help to pick card in persons it not picked up it is eventually cancelled. Would order GCMS notes to try and figure out what actually happened since IRCC customer service doesn’t always provide correct information and does not have access to all information.

Hi Canuck78,

It was a PR renewal and they ask us to provide the mailing address in Canada where we want them to mail the card.
Thanks.

Did your status still showing “Submitted “ on PR Portal. Or did you noticed any change in the online application yet?

Thank you for the reply. Mine is showing “urgency requested” from 1 week but did not got any passport request yet. Do you have any idea what can i do to get passport request now. I need to go urgently as i am stuck with my 9 month old baby.
i think it take 7-10 days to get passport stamped.

I had attached police report, letter from employer that I need to return to work urgently and airline tickets as urgency proof. The same documents were sent to MPs office as well. I think MPs enquiry made a difference and I got PPR urgently.
