Just landed! Question about travelling without PR card..

[Rockin_Zombie]

hi guys,

I have finally landed after much hassle, thanks to this forum for all the help. But I am having another issue right away: me and my wife booked a vacation to Cuba for a week in the last week of August. However, since I landed today, I would not be receiving my PR card before that. I assumed that since I have my study permit and multiple-entry visa (both valid till 2014), re-entering won't be an issue. But apparently I can not re-enter without my PR card. I know about the Permanent Residency Travel Document, but it does not apply in my case, since I am already in Canada. The main problem is, the booking was non-refundable, so we are losing a considerable amount of money here. Is there ANYWAY I can go on that trip, or do I just have to write-off that money and move on? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

If you are holding one of the visa-exempted passports and landing paper, you won't be expecting any problems returning to Canada from Cuba.

It's not a visa exempted passport, but I have a multiple entry visa on my passport, valid till 2014, does that count for anything now that I have landed? Thanks

Nope, the TRV is no longer valid. Usually CBSA/CIC cancel it by drawing a line through it.
