PR Card Renewal - Urgent Application Processing time??

And he also applied for the PRTD while in Canada? Did he have reasons other than travel for urgent business or pleasure, meaning he chose the `Other' option in the application?
how long did it take for you to get the passport request from date of submission?
Still baffled that the `reason' for the urgent request was accepted (apparently).
Not judging, just surprised.
Well I applied for the pr card and it did not come in time. I had no other choice. I paid over 5k for my vacation. I was going even if I never came back to Canada! LolStill baffled that the `reason' for the urgent request was accepted (apparently).

Oh, I misread one of your earlier posts where you mentioned needing to get back to Canada `for work'. Since your going on VACATION...and then need to get back for work, makes your story even better! LOL!
FWIW, you could have come back by flying to the U.S. and driving across a land PoE in a private vehicle (great way to end a vacation); no requirement to have a valid PR Card for that!
Please let us know when you have successfully received and utilized your PRTD. Many people here would be most interested in knowing that things may have changed.
It' shard to say, but I suspect it's one of the following:
1. Yet another glitch in the online system (many members here reporting similar issues with PR Card renewal, for example). The issue seems to resolve itself eventually, so keep checking.
2. Could be because IRCC has not revised the requirement for a PRTD to only be available if applying outside of Canada:

You can only apply for a PRTD from outside Canada.
The instructions for IMM5444 (paper application) show this:
Please choose the option that describes your current situation in order to be directed to the relevant application form to complete.
Choose the option that describes your current situation:
- I am in Canada
- You’ll apply for a PR card.
- I am outside Canada
- You’ll apply for a PRTD unless you want to renounce your PR status. To renounce your PR status, refer to the Application to Voluntarily Renounce Permanent Resident Status.
