Permanent resident TRAVEL DOCUMENT PROCESSING TIMES

[harry_92]

Hi,
Has anyone recently applied for PRTD through VFS Delhi. If yes, what is the processing time?

Also, Can we travel to US from Delhi with tourist Visa and then cross the Canadian Border through private vehicle without a PR card. I have COPR, Health Card, Driving License.

Thanks

You shouldn’t have a health card if you only did a soft landing. You didn’t qualify for one. Hopefully you notified the provincial health authority of your absence. Yes you can enter via the US. Please check the residency requirements for health cards. You may not qualify for any health coverage for 3 months even if you have a valid card.

Hey I am a Permanent resident from past 2 years I lost my PR card while visiting India. So I have all the documents that a Permanent resident has except my PR card. It’s just that I cannot wait for PRTD to arrived so that’s why I am thinking of taking a flight to USA then enter Canada via road. Not sure if they’ll allow me to enter without PR card.

With your COPR you should have no problem entering via the US. Would bring any paperwork you filed indicating that your PR card has been lost. You should do that for fraud purposes if you haven’t already. Paperwork isn’t necessary for the border but anything does help.

Hi
Sorry to hear about that.
Did you give them your original passport as well? That was same instruction I had and I thought that was ridiculous so I just didnt even go for it... but if you did, you gonna have to wait for them to get back to you I guess.. do you know where it sent to? Maybe you should try to get hold of them.

Yes, I did submit my passport. I tried calling Canadian High Commission, but it was of no use. I asked if I can personally come to the high commission, then I was told that i wont be allowed to enter. That's really sad and not a good gesture.

Hi!
Mexican Citizen here stranded in Spain. Does anyone have processing times for the VAC in Madrid and Mexico City for PRTD?

I’m thinking on traveling to Mexico and waiting there if it’s going to take more than 10 days but nowhere can I find processing times for PRTD in Spain or Mexico to compare.

If not, has anyone applied for a PRTD somewhere in Europe with a low processing time recently?

You are eligible to apply only if you are "OUTSIDE" Canada. This is clearly stated in the website
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/pr-travel-document/eligibility.html
You will have to send documents to the VAC looking after the country where you would be.
Simply put, it's not possible to apply from within Canada

your best option would be to approach the embassy and get a PRTD issued. this may not happen in time for your flight due to current circumstances. hope u have a copy of the pr card.

Would try to reschedule your flight. Where are you in the world? If covid is a big issue in that area it will take a while to get a PRTD.
