    Travelling without PRTD - Urgent!

    Don't recall suggesting the airlines were being unreasonable. The process however is very limited and not at all well thought through. It is possible to get emergency passports so bearing in mind the PR Card is so important there should be an option at VAC to manage emergency travel documents...

    Travelling without PRTD - Urgent!

    Sadly no PRTD yet. Brasil is in the dark ages with this, as I mentioned earlier, the visa people on phone didn't know I needed a PRTD if I was PR. I am trying to find a same day service or a VAC/IRCC that can expedite process, but not looking good. There is too little information about it...

    Travelling without PRTD - Urgent!

    Travelling without PRTD - Urgent!

    Thanks for the feedback. So just to clarify, if we are flying indirectly to Canada via another Brazilian city, but our bags are checked all the way through, the visas/ETA etc will be checked at initial checkin, which is where we would be turned away, or they would be checked before boarding...

    Travelling without PRTD - Urgent!

    Unfortunately not, apparently the cards were sent out to the address we gave in Canada but they never arrived. I rang CIC and they said they would not resend till we settled in Canada. That was over 180days ago, so I understand we have to reapply for the cards which we were planning on doing...

    Travelling without PRTD - Urgent!

    Morning All, I would really appreciate some assistance. We are a family of four Visa-exempt passport holders travelling to Canada in a few days. 3 of us are also PR (holding only COPR documents). Our daughter was born after, so she just has passport. So here is the quick version. Have been...
