I went to cic Etobicoke office in person . Office is open by appointment only and they are doing the refugee cases most.
If it helps, my first card was sent there last December for collection and they only just notified me of an appointment 2 days ago. Essentially, by the time that appointment arrives, they would have been holding my card for almost a year.
No, you would need one to fly to Canada. The PRTD is really for airlines and bus companies rather than the IRCC. The IRCC already know your status when you arrive at the border. That's why crossing in a private vehicle negates the need for a PRTD entirely.
That's true but not everyone has a US visa to enter the states. And an expired PR card at the land border can still raise concerns for the officers regarding their PR status. It's true that PRTD isn't needed at the land border, but it by no means means coming back will be any easier back into Canada - especially the person is in clear breach of the RO. @Sapna Mehta it's time to seek professional advice from lawyers - even if you have a strong H&C case - seek advice from them.
