Dear all,

CEC Visa stamped and now at India. Need to land before end of Dec'14.

Is that possible to land and back to India in a week?

Shall I give my friend's address for PR Card application?

Your advise appreciated.

Thanks.

if you are planning to send across via post/courier

Neither me nor CIC recommend mailing or couriering your PR Card to a location outside Canada. The reasons are:
1. The card could be lost
2. The card could be stolen
3. Your identity could be stolen if a dishonest person gets hold of your PR Card while enroute
4. Factors beyond your control could significantly delay the delivery of the card (i.e. service strike, strife, etc.)

Further, CIC representatives have stated "there is an understanding between Canada Post and CIC that if a PR card is found to be internationally bound, then they have the right to intercept and return it to CIC." Also, there is a chance that the customs officials at the other end may seize the mail for whatever reason.

If you send the card outside of Canada, you do so at your own risk.

Hi Gurindar,

Some one coming to India can bring it correct?

Also, hope it will take 6 months to get the card. Is that possible that I can back to Canada with some travel document?

Thanks.

Yes, if you trust the person going to India, he or she can get the card to you.

AFAIK, you cannot apply for a travel document once you have your PRC to return to Canada. You will have to apply for a new card, stating that it is stolen.

There is absolutely no issue with your friend mailing your PR to you in India. Canada Post is not going to "intercept and return it to CIC".

If you don't have your PR card in 6 months, you can apply for a PR Travel Document without issue.

Yes you can , but all at your risk , Though have seen people doing it . It takes 2 months to get the PR card once landing is done.

Thanks Canuck.

Yes. That is what my case. I have a function during Dec'14, but I need to use my PR Visa before Dec'14. So, I need to land and return back to India. I want to go back to Canada during Jan'15. Do I need to apply my travel document at Canada after landing ? or I can back to India then apply here at CHC, Delhi?

Please advise.

You can't apply for a PRTD in Canada. You will need to apply through New Delhi once you are in India. I believe that it takes around a month to be issued, though I can't guarantee that because the website doesn't list the processing time.
