Hi everyone.
I received a CPR Document last friday 5th November 2010. In the instructions document they explain that ¨if you are already in Canada and have temporary resident status, you have two choices. Obtain a permanent resident status in Canada, calling to CIC´s call centre and arrange an appointment with Citizenship and Immigration Office nearest to your place. Or the other choice is leaving Canada and re-entering at port of entry and you must present your passport and CPR to the Canada Border Services Agency Officer¨.
In my case, I applied and got my CPR within Canada. But, while I was doing my PR process, my temporary resident status expired but applied for a Restoration of Status. I´ve got a Implied Status but I have not received any answer yet about my Restoration, but last week I´ve got the CPR and visa IM-1 Immigrant (expire August 23-2011).
These are my questions:
- Should I call to CIC´s call centre and arranged an appointment or leave Canada and re-entry to obtain my permanent resident status and applied to my PR Card?
- Could I leave Canada for a couple weeks, go to my country and when I come back obtain my permanent resident status?
- Should I apply for a travel document (permanent resident abroad)?
Thanks for any answers and I´ll appreciate any advice and help.
