Just go directly to 6900 airport rd (if you claimed refugee status from the airport) entrance 93. Take the PR and the driver’s license with you. You will get it within an hour. I did that today and I was very surprised how was that easy and regretted I didn’t do that when I got my PR card instead of calling and sending them many letters.

Others have been asked to make an appointment and refused so I would suggest emailing unless going to the office is not inconvenient and you know you risk not receiving your documents.

What about the 5343 Dundas St W #3, Etobicoke, ON M9B 6K5 location? Any one have experience going to this location?

Hello,
I'm a rejected refugee claimant (appeal also rejected), and a PR applicant (I applied through my husband who is a protected person). After I get my PR can I use my old passport and travel to my home country? Because my refugee claim was not accepted I should be able to travel to my home country and use my passport, right?

Does your husband has different nationality?

Incorrect. The rules of protection does not apply on the dependents of a protected person.
Thanks for clarification and correction. I was wrong to make that determination. I went through 12.3 Jurisdiction to Decide Application to Cease document, it provides exemption to family members. I guess i was confused with associate claimant
