Hi there,
I became a permanent resident last week on Oct. 13, 2011. I had travel plan arranged before I was noticed to have landing visa issued. I’m traveling to China and Hong Kong on Nov. 5th, 2011 and returning on Nov. 19th, 2011. I have been informed that in order to return back to Canada by flight I need to apply PR travel document if I don’t receive PR card before I travel. I have a few questions regarding to this issue.
[1] The immigration officer at the border told me that I can apply travel document in Buffalo, but in CIC website it indicates that travel document is only issued one-time entry. If I drive to Buffalo, can I use my landing paper to enter Canada and use that one-time entry travel document until Nov. 19th when I fly back to Canada?
[2] Do they offer one-day process time in Buffalo for PR travel document?
[2] Before I landed as permanent resident, I had 2-year closed work permit valid until May 2013. Can I still enter Canada by flight using that work permit? (I’m from visa-exempt country list; so no need for the entry visa)
Thanks!!!
