Waiting for PR Card after landing - add your case here

[jammv]

The processing time for PR card has been increased from 70 to 72 calendar days

I am waiting for my card eagerly, I need to go to my home country in End of Nov.

Is there any way we can expedite the process if I send my confirmed flight ticket?

Not sure if this helps http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/pr-card/apply-urgent-processing-already-submitted.asp

Thanks Mahek. But from the link it looks like the urgent processing is done for people who sent their application package for a new PR card.
But since I landed here and didn't submit any PR application package, will this be applicable to me too?

I think you're right. I am not sure how it works for people who landed here. Call CIC?

=============================

I think they are working on other important activities related to PR..i.e medical, PPR etc than PR Card.

So what that means is that urgent processing of PR cards is only an option for PR card renewals
and not for new PRs?

That's odd... and http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/pr-card/apply-urgent-processing.asp doesn't say anything about that.

Processing Times has been reduced to 73 calendar days from 75
