Depending on how far along the process of issuing your card is, you could very well be impacted.

You will need to apply for a PRTD to return to Canada, or, if you can return via the U.S., you can re-enter Canada at a land PoE in a personal vehicle or on foot. The valid PR Card is only really needed, if returning to Canada via a commercial carrier.

Is it easy to get PRTD

Will I get the PRTD easily considering I have only been in Canada for two weeks. Also does the PRTD requires again a lot of documentation, supportings with the whole tedious process or is it a fairly easy thing if you have your COPR. ?
Thanks in advance

I cannot tell you how the strike will impact you, but common sense would say that it will. The PRTD (and a PR Card renewal application) are much simpler.

Can you return via the U.S., as mentioned, to eliminate the need altogether?

For some reason I applied for the US visa and it was rejected. And now the new interview date is after a year which also I am not sure if I will get the visa. That's why travelling through US is not an option for me.

Then your only hope is with the PRTD approval.

Good luck!

Did you provide an address in Canada where your PR Card is to be mailed (family member, or friend)? If so, the person could courier the PR Card to you in the UAE and you would not need a PRTD.

Seems like DHL is pretty popular, but if you choose this option, be sure to ask them if there are any restrictions in the UAE prohibiting a card with an RFID Chip inside to be imported.

Yes I did but I'm worried if the again rejected my pictures as my pictures were fine in the first place but they still rejected them. I have submitted again new pictures and waiting for the process but the IRCC protest might cause my PR card printing to be delayed. They had given 5 months to provide pictures and I shared in the first month so 4 months are there for them to process the card. Hope they process it and send it to my Canadian address.
