I wonder if one day someone at CIC or the government will realise how utterly stupid this system is? We've just become permanent residents who are supposed to have a set of rights similar to Canadian citizens. But until we get our PR cards in the mail we can't travel without a travel document, and that document can take weeks to obtain so short trips are impossible. I want to go on a 3-4 day trip to the states, but I can't plan it because the system won't allow for it to happen.
Sorry, just ranting. Hopefully we get good news soon!
