Going on Vacation with Expired Pr card
- Thread starter Great Sage
- Start date
Because it takes months to give you an appointment by the local office to pick up your card. Some people reported it took them 18 months to pick up their cards.
So, if I book a flight from Mexico to the USA with intention of crossing the land border. Will the airline require proof of onward travel to allow me on the plane?
Those are two separate parts of the journey. To fly into the US you need a valid US visa. It's none of airline's business where you will go after landing in the US. But, if you hold non-immigrant visa (like B1/B2), then you better have your itinerary/plans to go to Canada handy, so you can present it to border agent should he ask for your return ticket. You can explain that you are Canadian PR, on your way to Canada, and just stopping by to have some fun in the US before crossing into Canada.
Personally I doubt it, at least for those who don't need visas to USA and are Canadian PRs - just say your spouse or whoever is picking you up by car, that's not at all unusual.
That said, I haven't travelled much to USA recently (incl during covid) and airlines can sometimes surprise you, check with the airline if you can.
