Dear Friends,
1. The PR visa issued to me stipulates that I need to enter Canada on/before 16th July 2016. The destination (port of entry) is Vancouver.
2. I am currently working in India (Punjab) and have a few disposable assets (real estate) to settle.
3. Based on the understanding provided by this forum, a PR card takes anywhere between few weeks to months to arrive.
4. India is not on the visa-exempt list of countries, which means i'll need to have a PR card to board a flight.
5. I am okay with the PR card being mailed to my relative/friend, but what are the do's & dont's which should be kept in mind while applying for a PR card so that the hassle is minimized, for example:
- PR office guys asking for a passport size picture and you could be back to your non-visa exempt list of countries.
- Can't do much, if one is asked to collect the PR card in person.
6. Even though leaving without a PR card is not advisable, but considering the nature of my job and pending issues - I can not stay put for over a month as i am granted leave for the month of June'16 and extending the leave would be cumbersome.
Thus, the question is:
Can i request for a PR card application to be expedited when i reach Vancouver in June'16? Are there any agents/agencies to expedite the work on an applicant's behalf?
And
Can i use the landing document to come back via US (I have a valid tourist visa for US).
Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
