Hi mats for those questions I made sure the TO date for the current residence and workplace matched that of the date in section G Q25 underneath the signature line to show that at the time I filled out and signed the application, this is where I was working/living.

Hi mats not sure if you got an answer to your questions but question 19 wants addresses of places you've lived (as in residences not vacations) and question 21 only wants number of days outside Canada so if you travelled within Canada (you mention you were present both days in Canada) you don't...

Received email May 12th: This confirms that your application for your Permanent Resident card has been received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) on 2017/03/09. Nothing showing up in online status yet.

romiro - my husband went around 7:30 (on a Friday), only 6 or so people in front of him (not all were there to pick up cards though.) My husband was walking out with his card at 8:15. Good luck to you.

FYI romiro - the same thing happened to us where we requested urgent processing for travel mid-December and received a letter in November stating we could pick up in January. This is done to prevent everyone descending on the place at the same time. I also phoned and was told about coming in 5...

Just to update: we've returned from the Dominican Republic and my husband was asked for his PR card by a Dominican customs official prior to boarding our return flight to Canada, despite having already handed her his British passport first. No idea what would've happened if he didn't have it...

We decided to take a chance and just go to the office to pick up the card. My husband was there first thing at 8am and by 8:15 he had his PR card. No guarantees that everyone will get their card that quick but maybe if you get there early, on a day when it's not so busy, you stand a chance like...

update - so it took me all day but I finally got through to the CIC call centre and they advised that each office has its own policies, and regarding early pickup, St. Claire's is that if you want to pick up your card in advance of your booked appointment date and you are travelling within 5...

Thanks Alabaman. Your silence could also be interpreted as "um...good luck with that" LOL. I've read some posts that left me with a less than favourable impression of this office anyways, and now this. We recevied an email two weeks ago responding to our urgent fax request saying that our card...

Just to follow up: we sent our application for urgent processing at the beginning of November with a travel date of mid December. Today we felt so relieved when we got a letter telling us that the St. Claire office has my husband's card. Great, right? BUT we then read the whole letter which says...

Thank you Leon - I had interpreted the travel document option correctly after all, I was really hoping that I was missing something! The turnaround time for the Dominican office is 10 business days and we will only be there for a week, so that option is out. :(

Thanks scylla - this has been his experience as well when he went to Germany and the US a few years ago - he was never asked for his PR card when boarding to return to Canada. However, our return date is Dec 23rd and we don't want to risk him missing Christmas and Boxing Day, so I am trying to...

Thank you all. PMM, I've sent an email to our carrier to ask what their policy is in this situation. Can travel documents be applied for in advance of travel out of Canada knowing there may be an issue with boarding a flight back to Canada due to lack of a PR card (we sent the expired card...

Hi - my husband is a permanent resident with a valid British passport. We have applied for urgent renewal of his PR card as we plan to travel to the Dominican in December. We are concerned we may not receive his PR card in time. If that happens, he will likely not travel. I have been reading...

Thank you Leon. Alabaman: We live in the Toronto area.

Hi there - my husband's PR card has expired and didn't realize it until after we'd booked a trip to the Dominican Republic for Dec 16th to Dec 23rd. We are planning to send his renewal application for urgent processing but are worried he may not receive it in time. We've only put down a deposit...
