PR Card Advice
Hello everyone, well after much searching and calling of numbers that did not exist, I finally managed to contact the cic call center from the US and spoke to a real live person!!! He told me that my card had been mailed on Nov. 8th to the address in Canada. Surprise, surprise, we never recieved it...he now has to send me a solemn declaration that I have to sign, return, etc, etc. My question is this..would it be feasible for us just to fly to Toronto and pick up a card in person? Can we do this? We are going to Vancouver in Feb for 2 weeks to look at property, jobs, ect, so could we just do everything from there? Any help/advice would be appreciated..
ps. if anyone needs the number, drop me a private message...

Hi
Not really since if the card has gone missing you will have to attend a CIC get the picture taken, then the card will be processed in Sydney and then you will have to probably return to the CIC to pick it up a month or so later.

We are not planning on moving to Canada permanently until Sep of next year. We had to go ahead and land as our visas would have expired. We both have US citizeship so could enter Canada without the card, right? Could we just wait until we move for good and then reapply? Is it common for the mail service to "lose" mail like this? The more I think about it, the more it seems weird that the card was mailed out on Nov. 8th as we didn't land until Oct. 26th - that seems like an awfully fast process...anyone else with the same problem?
