Just got my PR card from to US to Canada through UPS International Ground. The package was inspected by customs and it took around 24 hours for it to clear. The package got delayed by a day.

Why should there be any issues, the airline for example has no idea how you got your PR card just as long as you have one. CBSA are only interested that you have a valid card, they have no role to play in the actual issue/ distribution of PR cards other than the initial landing application submission.

No need to over think things that somehow there is some monitoring on how someone got their card, both IRCC and CBSA hopefully have better things to waste time on.

I'm in the same boat. I used FEDEX and the status there says 'Package Available for Clearance'. Do you know how much time it takes from this status to the package being delivered? Did you also see a similar status on your shipment?

@KrCanada @DEEPCUR

Congratulations on receiving your PR card.

I want to get my PR card from Canada to USA too via FedEx. could you please share some details about how you filled out the return shipment label? what did you select in Package and Shipment Details? In document description I have selected 'legal documents' and shipment purpose as 'Personal Use'. Is that okay?

Also, what should I add in Custom Documentation? I just want to make sure everything is fine and there won't be any issue receiving PR card via FedEx from Canada to USA.

Thank you in advance.
Did this work out ok for you? The description as "Legal Documents" and "Personal Use"

Because the cards have an RFID `chip', they almost always trigger something when being sent via a courier. Unless the card is a prohibited item in the country where it is being sent, or a restriction with the carrier, you should eventually get your card.

Thanks I hope so too. I read some threads where people have claimed to get the PR cards even though it was opened/ reviewed by US Customs.
