Hello every one

After waiting almost 3 years, two days ago I got my passport from Buffalo with visa stamped on it , which is so great news, however when I checked the last day to enter canada It was the 31st of Dec. this year that means in10 days I have to get ready and sell my assets and finish what ever I started In the states for 13 years, I just found it abit not fair
over all I am so happy .........

Good luck to you all

That really stinks!! You may be able to enter Canada and then leave again just to keep the PR status while you sort out your belongings. *Of course, it takes a month or so to get your PR card which would allow you to come and go. This means that if after end of Dec you had to leave before the PR card has been received you would need to apply for a travel document as detailed below:*



5. Can I leave Canada during the application-processing period?

You can travel outside of Canada and use your IMM 1000 document as proof of your permanent resident status to re-enter Canada until December 30, 2003.

**If you are a permanent resident and are seeking to re-enter Canada without a PR card after this date, you will not be permitted to board your carrier.

You will then need to contact the nearest Canadian visa office to obtain a limited use travel document to re-enter Canada at a cost of $50 for each traveling permanent resident.**
