Hello,
I just checked ecas online and it shows:
Your request for a permanent resident card was approved on May 14, 2015. Your Permanent resident card will be mailed to you or if quality assurance

is required, made available for you to pick up at a CIC office.

Not sure when this was updated as I checked on Friday and there was nothing. Wondering do they update ecas on the weekends?
Its May long and the CIC is closed until monday.
I am departing on Wednesday morning. Im hoping to get my PR in hand before that.

What is the best thing to do?

Call CIC or go visit the service centre directly with a copy of my ticket.
Also If they have already dispatched the card by mail if there anyway to track it.

What are my options guys? Please let me know.

Highly doubtful that your card has already been dispatched.

Even more doubtful you will receive it by Wednesday.

You need travel document to enter Canada. You can ask your friends or relatives to send or bring your PR card.

What is the safest way to send the PR card? I am only out of the country for 2 weeks.
Also will be stuck if they request a pick up for quality assurance at a CIC office.

Yes I know about that .. the only issue is they take a minimum of 10 working days and Im there only for 9 day.

Trying to think of what my option are since i have got confirmation that my permanent resident card was approved on May 14, 2015.

When they say " Your request for a permanent resident card was approved on May 14, 2015"
Does it mean your card will be dispatched on that day or they going to sit on it for a while???
