Lost PR card
So we seem to have lost our 12 year old sons PR card 😱
We're heading to Cuba in 6 weeks time.
I've read you can obtain a travel document. How does that even work?
Thanks for your help!! I'm panicking!!

Re: Lost PR card
Once you are out of Canada, you can apply for a PR Travel Document

Re: Lost PR card
Oh no!
I'd strongly suggest gathering all the documentation and proof required for the PRTD before you go - and complete the application in advance.
How long are you going to be in Cuba for? You will need to drop / send the application to Havana, processing times aren't shown. You may need to consider flying back into the US and then coming across by car.
I hope your son find his card!!

Leave him in Canada, have a great holiday and send a post card. At 12 he needs to learn to be responsible with important documents. When I was 12 I was working 12 hours a day, walking 5 miles each way to work and got a day off every fortnight.

And you will need someone to look after the dogs- saves you paying for kennels or getting a dog sitter

Re: Lost PR card
It might not be either / or. You might decide to do both as I did depending on your plans. I wanted to book a summer holiday but did not want to be stressing my Citizenship app wouldn't be processed in time. In the event it was but with only 3 weeks to spare.
