I applied it through urgent process. As my family member is planning to have a surgery back home soon, I requested for urgent processing. I included doctor's note , my booked itinerary and a letter explaining my urgent situation.

CIC about urgent processing requirement in their site : ( Hope this helps )

Apply for a PR card and write “urgent” on the envelope.

To support your urgent request, include:

  • proof of travel that shows your destination and travel dates, such as:
    • your itinerary
    • a copy of your ticket
  • a copy of the receipt for your trip (a ticket receipt) with the:
    • date
    • amount paid
    • payment method
  • a letter explaining the reason for the urgency
  • proof of the urgency, such as a:
    • doctor’s note
    • death certificate
    • letter from your employer
Make sure the copies are clear. We must be able to read all of the information on each document. Include an English or French translation with any documents that are not in English or French.

If you forget to include something or your situation doesn’t qualify for urgent processing, we’ll process your application normally.

If you don’t receive your PR card before you travel, find out how to return to Canada without a PR card.

Thank you very much for your reply! Last question, do you think the location will matter for the processing time? I'm from Ontario so will that delay my process and do you suggest calling them for follow up updates? as it is very urgent for me

I am not sure whether the location matters. I don't think so. Those CIC support guys can provide us updates once we receive AOR. If not, we need to wait for AOR. There is no other go.
