I applied for my PR card on the 30th of July. Finally, it's been mailed after 3 months!! Thank the Lord. I took risks which were foolish and it had been nerve wracking for me for the past 3 months. But it's done! Here is my timeline. Good luck peeps. We received your application for a...

I wanted to just share my experience and opinion so that people know I took a huge risk, and because I was so lucky, I urge others never to take such risks. My priorities were different back then and since then have changed. Dpenabill makes many valid points and I trust his/her opinions. But...

@qureishi Usually it should not be a problem till your PR card at the airport is valid, even if you haven't met the RO (stayed more than three years outside). I was in a similar situation as you. Traveled to the United States 5 times and back with a valid PR card and was a bit more than 3 years...

@Rob_TO. You are absolutely right. I am very lucky and grateful that I was let go. But there have been quite a few people who have done this. This post was mostly for risk takers. There are always people who take the risk of traveling outside the country in breach of PR card for whatever reason...

Hello, There are a lot of people who question whether they can cross the border by land, by car/ walk/ cycle, through the US to Canada with an expired PR card and their Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR). In my honest opinion, yes, you can. However it isn't recommended. There are many...

Pursue medical education in the US. Apply for 2019 residency. DON'T LET THAT GO!! Either you loose your status as a PR or you possibly gain a US residency and (most likely) green card at the end of the day. If you God forbid don't get residency in the US in 2019, complete your RO in Canada...

I appreciate all your replies. I have been travelling to the US from Canada a couple of times with my valid PR this year. I haven't been scrutinized at any time. I am still in the process of meeting my RO. Now that I understand the risks, my last question is that the worst case scenario that...

@scylla Would it be safe to go ahead with my plan? What will the CBSA ask at the border?

Oh, this is worrying. If I take the risk of traveling to the US and returning back into Canada by car with only my landing documents and an expired PR, I could be reported?Do they scrutinize a lot at the border? I have been living in Canada for just over a year and a half now.

As long as the PR card is valid you can move in and out of Canada. I am still half a year away from meeting my RO and I have traveled in and out of Canada by air without any problems. The problem will arise once the PR card has expired and you are outside Canada. If your PR card expires while...

Hello, I am currently living in Canada. My PR card will expire in Feb 2018. I am planning to take an exam in the US sometime in the 1st week of March 2018 and by then my PR would have expired. I was wondering if I will be able to use my Landing Record Papers to cross the border into Canada with...
