I am currently outside Canada, and I return to Montreal on Tuesday. I had to leave, had no choice really. But it really doesn't matter. The best thing to do is to travel for a very short period but oh well, I do not know everyone's situation. Some people still get their inland applications processed in a timely matter and they have been outside Canada for weeks/months. It is all about luck it seems.
My criminality has passed but they still haven't started my security. Perhaps they might be waiting for me to come back to Canada. I was thinking the other day, if anyone of us who are outside Canada, we have to get passed security at the airport. They don't let criminals or terrorists in the country, we should pass security and criminality at the border when we come back if our PR app is still in progress
