Re: PR Card Renewal Timescale

Thanks for sharing, I'm likely going to be doing this later in the year. Current processing time for PR cards as listed on IRCC's website is 58 days so yours was pretty quick.

Re: PRTD Processing times London 2023

Not too recent, but my PRTD in May was exactly three weeks between submitting the online application and getting an email notice from IRCC that it had been approved.

It then took another week to...

Re: PRTD - online application

I did the online PRTD process a couple of months ago. It was exactly three weeks between submitting the application and getting an email from IRCC confirming that it had been approved.

Re: Advice on PR Renewal whilst living with Canadian Spouse in U.K.

As christmasoompa says, you need to apply for a PRTD, or Permanent Resident Travel Document.

I am also a UK citizen living in Britain with a Canadian partner, and I've twice successfully applied...

Re: PRTD multiple entries

Sure – what I sent was basically a scaled down version of the docs I submitted for the original PR application. So I sent in the following:

Re: PRTD multiple entries

I can't speak to that, although from IRCC's point of view it might make some sense – you wouldn't need PRTD if you have a valid PR card.

The one positive thing with having a 'gap' is that in my...

Re: Passport renewal during visit back

On the EU layover – there could be an issue as entering the Shengen area requires citizens of third party countries (i.e. non-EU) to have at least six months left on their passport before expiry.

Re: PR 730 day rule

Mildly off topic, but do you know how they work out the dates when you leave Canada, given that the country doesn't do exit checks? Do they get the information from airlines?

Re: Entering Canada without PR card via the Peace Bridge (or any land crossing)

You're probably right. Bit of a pain having to go through the process of PRTD application followed shortly after by one for a PR card – although I guess everyone who uses PRTD has to do it, and the...

Re: Permanent Resident Travel Document – any recent application experience?

I wonder if by checklist they were referring to the VFS consent form?

Re: VAC consent form for PRTD

I did my PRTD a couple of months ago and filled in the section stating that I was willing to provide biometrics – but you're right, it's not a requirement and you shouldn't be asked to provide them.
