Does anybody else find the right-side advert bar irritating... :
Anyways, answers to ur queries-
Ppl get PRTD when they apply at most within a month- 6 weeks...You just have to give a solid reason why u left Canada without the PR Card...It's a hassle but most ppl get it smoothly...As u have landed in Canada, ur now a PR, that entitles u to every right as a Citizen except the right to vote....Have some confidence dude
There are a couple of other ways to go back to Canada-
1) I assume u have given a Canadian address for PR Card delivery when u landed...Ur friend/ relative can pick up the card at this address and forward it to you..it's perfectly legal...and many many ppl have done it (those who went for short landing).....You can also change the Canadian address that you initially gave through ECas change address option/ by calling the CIC Call Center (I'm not sure how long after initial landing this is possible, double-check this point)..The Card will come through Normal post...
2) If u have a US Visa, then u can go to US, then travel to the Canada border (ex. at Niagara Falls) with ur personal vehicle (like a rented car) and re-enter only by showing ur COPR ( u don't need ur PR Card in such cases)....This doesn't apply for comemrical transport like planes, trains/ buses...
Good luck!!
