Just got PR- Have to leave Canada without PR card.

[sailorshinde]

Hi all,

I landed with my PR last month and I have to (really have to) travel for business to the US for a week. I don't have my PR card yet and I am sure its going to take another month.

Can I travel by my personal car and drive back with the CoPR? or do I need PRTD? How long does processing a PRTD take?

I have to be back in one week. I am planning to drive to Detroit and fly out to my US destination and then fly back into Detroit and cross the border back into Canada.

Can I go to a local consulate and apply or will I have to mail it to NYC in case I need a PRTD to be back?

If you are entering by private vehicle, you can enter with your CoPR only (PRTD is only required for travelling by commercial transportation. Normally PR card comes into mail in around 44 days
