I have been waiting almost for a month, so I guess I can't complaint. The good thing about all this, is that the PR card is not our status itself, but only a mere instrument used to prove our status. Which means we all should take a deep breath and relax, we are already PR.
One solutions for all the people who live close to the border to the US and need to go out of Canada and come back, is catching your flight from the US. You don't need a PR card (Only COPR) if you are driving a private vehicle crossing from the states. I am planning on flying back to Seattle, rent a car and drive back to Vancouver.
