I will be on a trip to china on December 13. My return flight is on Jan 6, 2015 and I just realized my PR card expires on Jan 5, 2015. VERY FRUSTRATING!
Now I can only apply for urgent PR card renewal and hope for the best. But I have a few questions.
1. How long does urgent PR renewal usually take? I live in Vancouver BC. I had 2 trips in the last 5 years and spent a total of 39 days outside Canada.
2. CIC says I need to photocopy ALL pages of my passport. Really? My passport has 50 pages and most of them are empty pages. Do I need to photocopy all 50 pages or only those with useful information?
3. I went to china during those 2 trips and I had stamps from Chinese boarder. I will have to translate those stamps right? And according to CIC guide, the translator needs to provide an affidavit. “An affidavit is a document on which the translator has sworn, in the presence of a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the translator is living, that the contents of their translation are a true translation and representation of the contents of the original document.”
That seems very complicated. Just exactly how should I do this? How did you guys do this?
4. According to CIC guide, I will need to certify the translated document. I am going to ask my university professor to certify my translated passport pages. He will only need to certify those pages that are translated right? Not the entire 50 pages passport right?
5. To prove that I really have imminent travel plan, can I just provide itinerary page from expedia.ca showing my booked flight and my credit card statement showing that I have paid the money? Would this be sufficient?
I am really in an urgent situation right now. I want to get this done as soon as possible and hope for the best. Any input regarding to my application would be very appreciated. Thank you!
