I Applied For PR Travel Document and I Got Accepted. What is Next

[meganpeter]

So here's my story:I am a 22 year old college student in the United States and I received the canadian PR card in 2006, but I continued to stay in the US since then. I occasionally visit my parents in Canada, but I obviously did not meet the Canadian residency status since I was attending University in the United States. My PR card expired in 2011.

I applied for the Travel Document for Permanent residents abroad 5 months ago and I was accepted. I have a few questions:

1) What does this document prove exactly?
2) Can I work in Canada once I arrive there even if my PR card is expired? I have a SIN.
3) How long will it take to get a new PR card and can I be deported back?

Hello! Lucky you, we are in the same position but I dont think we will get the travel document. Did you sent a letter explaining your situation to them?

If they gave you a travel document you can go to Canada and apply for PR renewal of your card and I am pretty sure you are allowed to work.

Yes, I i wrote a letter detailing why I had to stay in the United States to study. My parents resided in Canada in the meanwhile, maybe that's why I was accepted.
