RE: PR Card and travelling
i accidentally came across your website and i am quite impressed with the questions and answers provided
i have question that i need answer to and this is very urgent
i am a British citizen/British Passport holder on work permit, applied for PR and same was approved 1 week ago
Prior to this time, i registered for a conference holding in Hawaii about 4 weeks ago, course, accommodation and flight all paid for with confirmation for each of these
When i got approved for the PR, drove to border crossing for landing few days ago because the appointment date given to do the landing inside was too long, and at the border, the work permit was taken off me after the landing document was signed.
I now realized i may not get the PR card before departing for the conference in Hawaii USA and from information gathered so far, even if i put in an application for urgent processing of the PR card, pay extra for it, i still mat not get it and i have paid close to $CD 6000 for all the expenses
I naturally do not need PR to travel to USA as my British passport covers me for this, my concern is when coming back to Canada, can i use my proof of confirmation of COPR, Landing paper and the date of landing stamped on my passport to return to Canada??
I also realized that the temporary travelling documents is for people outside Canada
Thank you for your prompt response
