While any airline can refuse to board someone, it's normal that a valid PR card and passport would be sufficient. The whole point of the PR card is that it IS a travel document.

Valid Photo ID for a PR card pick up interview

Hello,

This is an urgent request. I am going to have a PR card pick up interview on Oct. 28, 2016. The issue is my drive license expired more than five years ago. Three months ago, ICBC rejected my driver license renew because my PR card expired more than 5 yrs. Last week, I got an email and informed me that I need to bring a Valid photo identification (issued by a provincial or federal agency and Driver license is one of the alternatives) to CIC local office in Surrey to pick up my renewed PR card. Three days ago (Oct. 20) I went to apply a (Ontario)provincial issue Photo ID (with receipt) for those who does not have driver license as a substituted Photo ID. Unfortunately, the lead time for getting a Ontario Photo ID may take 4 weeks as the standard cycle time.

Now, I have foreign passport, Landing Paper(without Photo), care card (without Photo), expired driver license, expired PR card, application form and receipt for Ontario Photo ID. Please advice what I need to explain and what I need to do in order to convince local CIC officer regarding my Photo ID mandatary ID related concerns.

I have tried very hard in the past one week in order to identify a workable and substitutional solution to resolve this issue. But failed. Really appreciated anyone can help in advanced

Take all ids that you have and the ontario photo ID receipt and hopefully you will get your PR card. I suppose, your foreign passport is still valid.
