Re: PR card
Good idea to lie on your PR card application form. Spend the rest of your time looking over your shoulder (even if you eventually become a citizen) or waiting for the knock on the door when they come to boot your sorry arse out of the country.
IIRC you still meet the requirement, so just go with the truth. As it is you dont need PR card or travel document to return as you have a visa waiver passport, so come back, explain all and trust the system. If you did screw up, abandoned the country and legitimately lost your status, thats too bad, the rest of us take this shit seriously after the effort it took to get PR status in the first place.
PR is 2 out of 5, Citizen is 3 out of 4, probably the sourse of confusion? No doubt AM will show up and correct us that technically is whatever number of days
PR cards for newly lander PRs are mailed, Cards for existing PRs usually have to be collected in person.

Re: PR card
HB received his PR card by mail, so unless CIC has changed its policy in the last 1.5 years, it is not necessary to go in person to pick them up.

both my sister and I have lived here since 1967 and had the old paper IMM1000 card signed by our father as we were small children. We both just this year finally applied for our new PR card ...never had one before and they were mailed out to us.

Sorry, can't answer questions about specific forms as I no longer remember anything about them.

I met a woman who has lived here for 25 years. Born in UK, Italian Parents. Always carried an Italian Passport, has lost the original passport (with her entry visa in), let the last passport run out, she never applied for citizenship, she never applied for a PR card. She doesnt have her birth certificate.
Basically she is restricted to staying in Canada!!!!

Is it different for existing PR's then?

Re: PR card
I believe ..... and I'm sure there are a dozen ppl to correct me if I'm wrong ..... that they will only post to a Canadian address.
As to whether existing PR's have to pick them up personally .... that seems to be a matter of differing experience, doesn't it. They posted to us, as new landed immigrants last fall ..... that was our experience.

Is it wise to use my sister in law's address for the PR card, or is this a no no?
