Hi All,
Can we speed up PR card processing once we land in Canada?
The site mentions about a toll free number for assistance. Can we call them up to speed up the process?
Also, please let me know the normal timeline to receive the PR card.
Thank you ,
KRG.
How do I prove my travel plans when I am applying for urgent processing of my permanent resident Card?
When applying for urgent processing, we need a photocopy of your proof of travel and proof of payment to prove your travel plans.
The proof of travel, such as tickets or an itinerary, must show:
the dates you will be traveling,
your personal information such as your full name,
your travel provider's information such as airline, train, bus, or boat company name, and
your destination (where you are going).
The proof of payment can be part or full price for your travel. It must show:
the date that you paid,
the amount paid, and
how you paid.
Make sure the photocopies are clear. We must be able to read all of the information listed above. If you do not include this information or we cannot read it, we may not process your application urgently. We will process it normally.
