ok thanks for all the help, unfortunatly my travel rep has told me she douts that air transat will even let me leave vancouver without my pr card because i will not have it for the return flight. so now all i need to know is if i can get the needed travel document from seattle. and use it for my cuba trip. cant get hold of anyone at the goverment to ask, this is so stupid that there is no actuall person to ask a question too.just more machines with no help.
