Returning to Canada without PR card ?
Question to all:
The new travel rules require plastic permanent resident cards for folks returning to Canada from the USA if they hold what was the IMM1000 landing record.
I have an employee who applied for one some four months ago, and is still waiting. He needs to go on a business trip to the USA at the end of this week. How much aggro will CIC give him if he tries to re-enter Canada without one ?
There is mention of a temporary travel document at $50 CAD that has to be issued in person. Sadly there is no office near his travel destination, and this frankly seems like a blatent tax on new arrivals to Canada to pay for the gvt's incompetence in issuing paperwork in a timely manner.
What say ye, worthy canuk travellers ?
Cheers,
Ben.
