I declared that I was in Canada. They need your passport to stamp it with the PRTD. so you have to go to a VAC to give them your passport so they can stamp it. I have never heard of a passport getting loss. I applied for urgent processing because i already bought my plane ticket and i have to be back to work on a certain date. I'm guessing you have never applied for a PRTD before and you're unsure of how the process works?
I'm surprised that IRCC allowed for `urgent processing', just because you had already purchased your airline ticket and have to return to work on a certain date.
Urgent processing for your PRTD application
You must show that you need your PRTD within the next three months for one of these reasons:
your own serious illness;
the serious illness or death of a family member;
lost/stolen Permanent Resident card while on temporary travel outside of Canada
you are in a crisis, emergency, or a vulnerable situation;
other
You must include all the following documents to show you need urgent processing:
a letter explaining the reason for the urgency; and
proof of urgency (i.e. a doctor's note, death certificate, etc.)
I have a trip planned to Europe in June 2 but need a valid travel document from Canada to apply for a schengen visa(which takes about two weeks to process). If I apply as urgent PRTD, will I get the PRTD in Canada ? Or in Europe ?

Based upon how things worked for the member, in the link that I posted at the top of this thread, they applied for the PRTD while still in Canada. They sent their passport to the visa office AFTER they arrived at their international destination and it was returned to them [there] with the PRTD. Not sure that I would be willing to send my passport anywhere while being on vacation, hoping it makes its way back to me in time for my return flight to Canada...or worse, gets lost!

They do need to verify applicant's status in Canada to qualify if you are OK to apply as Canadian residents. Generally they don't issue visas to visitors in Canada.
Maybe this is the reason OP need something to prove he's PR.

In the link in the first post in this thread, that PR had a vacation planned and had not yet received their PR Card, so they applied for the PRTD from within Canada...stated that they were in Canada, but the reason for the urgent request did not fall into one of the `obvious' categories. Most urgent requests are for family/medical emergency, but the OP simply chose 'Other' for their reason, but probably did provide flight dates from/back to Canada.
Glad it worked for the OP, but was surprised that it did, considering that IRCC still states that a PRTD cannot be applied for inside Canada.

I think there's also confusion with the wording, I think they're referring to "you can't apply and receive a PRTD inside Canada", since there are clearly people here that made the application within Canada and then later on got the PRTD while they were traveling.
My guess is that you can make the application while you're in Canada and get the PRTD at the VAC center outside Canada. Just my 2 cents.
Will applying for PRTD in Canada be considered misinformation? I applied for PRTD in Canada yesterday, but I am worried that it will be rejected. Do I need to withdraw?

I decided to withdraw my PRTD and cancel my flight tickets at meantime. However, they might need to take some time to approve for my withdrawal. I am afraid that the status of the PRTD application will change before the withdrawal is approved. Meanwhile, I applied it in Canada so that I'm also afraid that they will think I did a mispresentation which can cause serious aftermath like losing the PR status. So all in all I chose to withdraw. But... how long does it take to approve the withdraw? Meanwhile, if the application status change BEFORE the withdraw is checked by the officials, what can I do?
Hi,
Thanks for sharing the story. May I ask how long did it take you to get the PRDT?
I submitted my PR application 3 months ago (May 1st) and an urgency request last month. IRCC confirmed that they received and approved the urgency request, however, I plan to travel at the end of August and afraid that my PR card won't arrive in time. I'm planning to apply for the PRTD and will pick it up in my home country. Since I have to travel to a few destinations, I just want to know approximately how long it normally takes.
