I'm a Canadian citizen married to an American who is a Canadian permanent resident. I moved to the States years ago and recently renewed my wife's PR card. I was informed that a letter came in the mail to our Canadian contact address stating that the card can be picked up at an office local to that address on June 28th between the hours of 1:30 and 3:00.

We are still living in the States but are actually visiting that area around that time. Unfortunately we will actually be flying on the 28th and won't be crossing the border until the 29th. Is this appointment a hard set one (though the time range is kinda weird)? Do I need to reschedule? I know the 1-888 number only works in Canada. Is there another way to contact them about our situation? I notice they also mention that they will hold it for 180 days so can we just show up on the 29th and pick it up?

Thanks!

Hi I am Kishor. I had received my COPR and passport with visa stamped last week. But it is valid only upto Jan. I am skeptical if I may get a job before that. So my friend suggested that I just come to Toronto for 2-3 days next month and complete the formalities and go back to India. I can stay at his place for those days [visit Niagara of course :) ] and I will give their address as my address and I can get the PR card [which comes in 45 days] delivered it to his place.

My question is " Do we have to physically be present to get the PR card? Can it be couriered to friend's place and we get it from him once he lands India?" Kindly confirm so that I can plan my journey accordingly. Thanks a ton in advance.

Regards,

Kishor Sankaran

From what I have heard, PR card will be delivered by post. Why are you asked to collect it from there? Did you choose for this option?I verified that in this link
