My one from March 19th is still in process.

The border is a bit more strict these days, though if you have a valid PR card that has a while before it expires, it goes a bit easier.

Just showed up on the web site.

The city listed on your COPR, if present. Number 9 says "Record of Landing, COPR or PR Card" on the application form I have. See this guide for what they mean. Client Application Status (cic.gc.ca) You should send your application separately, as complete applications. See the instruction...

There's no obligation to use a PRTD once issued. I'm doing another PRTD application after my first one was stolen and then reissued. I have to disclose that on the new PRTD application, and my main concern is that getting two of those in a row with a 1 year time period means I may get a bit...

Is your wife a Citizen, or just a PR?

Your status doesn't expire, only the PR card.

Yes. The airline is required to verify documentation for PRs by regulation. For non-Canadians, they give the information to the CBSA who makes a determination if the travel is essential. As PRs, it's possible to be in limbo (for flights) without a PR card or PRTD. This is the same case (for...

My PR card was stolen. I tried to use my American Passport to get on a plane, and one of the exceptions for Americans. The CBSA and the airline denied me, because the presumption is that a PR without a PR card is not a PR. I am in the same situation now as I wait for a new PR card. I've...

To clarify, I wasn't suggesting PRs are banned. Specifically, if one does not present as a PR, then as far as the airline is concerned, you can be banned (for example, non-essential travel). Even if you have an "exemption to the ban" (essential travel), it's not available as that exemption is...

Still waiting, nothing on the web site.

An application for a PRTD must be made outside Canada (unfortunately). Airlines are required to provide Advance Passenger Information through a government of Canada systems. Advance Passenger Information / Passenger Name Record Data (cbsa-asfc.gc.ca) In Canada, there is the Interactive...

Your PR card does not depend on your passport. A PRTD does.

Yes to both. I've got something like 500 border crossings, so I just keep the physical presence calculator updated. They have fixed most of the bugs (it had issues with study and work permits at the same time, as well as it used to complain if any entries were more than 5 years old), and it's...

Nope, and it doesn't matter. An expired PR card is like an expired passport - it's proof of status, not the actual status. In general, if your card is expired you should renew it. Additionally, if you are eligible for Citizenship and there are not conflicts (for example, your home country...

For something like that, you may have more luck getting a virtual mailbox rather than an official P.O. Box. They have the option of making you pick up your card in person, so even if they accept P.O. Boxes, that's probably not a good idea. There is a spot on the form for the mailing address...

I applied for my PR card around 19 Mar 2021, and status is still showing nothing as well.

The Canadian legality doesn’t depend on your US status, nor would there be any reason for it to.

That’s not what Canada.ca says. Or the enforcement manual. It’s “in Canada”, but it’s not “work” in Canada.

Sure you can. I had a closed work permit on top of my student work permit, on top of working for a US employer remotely. Canada does not consider an activity work if it does not enter the Canadian labor market. Working as a consultant for a US company is thus not considered work, as long as...
