Hello everybody,
I need an advice; your help is greatly appreciated.
I sponsored my husband and he came to Canada in April 2016. His PR card never arrived. I had to call CIC several times, nobody knows what happened and finally they send a letter-request for new two photos. We mailed it to Sydney by courier immediately and got a confirmation of delivery on Aug 18, 2016.
I called CIC yesterday to clarify when we should expect his PR card. I was told that it takes about 3-4 weeks just to open the envelope. I was also advised that to process it takes more than 49 days in cases like ours and time varies from case to case. So, it is not clear if it will be three months or a year. The only what we can do is just wait.
My husband has a flight booked in September. He needs to leave Canada temporary due to family circumstances. Therefore, in order to come back, he will have to apply for travel document in Embassy there.
We fill out the application for travel document and have some questions:
1. When he has to apply for travel document-right after arrival or close to his flight back? He is planning to be there for up to three-four months.
2. Fee for travel document: visa offices abroad do not accept payment from banks in Canada. Would Visa office there give him some sort of invoice?
3. He is employed here and has paystubs to confirm his employment. He also has printout of health card number, SIN number and temporary driver license paperwork. Would it be enough to confirm his intention to come back?
4. For how long travel document is valid?
5. What if in a meantime (after travel document is issued) his card will arrive? Can he come back using the card instead of travel document? Does he need to notify the Embassy?
6. And finally-is it possible that Embassy would not give him travel document due to any reason?
Thank you
