Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
For updates related to your specific case it is best that you contact IRCC using their web form. It may also be useful to note that processing time does not include the wait time before they receive the application, and starts once they receive a completed application.
If you find yourself in a position where you need to travel and do not yet have your PR card, you may also find helpful information in the Settlement.Org article, I need to leave Canada but do not have my PR card yet. What should I do?
We hope this information is helpful. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to post them here.
Sincerely,
Your Settlement.Org Team

Hello There,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
You will need to provide a valid PR card or PRTD to return to Canada. Based on information on the IRCC website, you will likely need to apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document to return to Canada if your PR card is expired/invalid.
According to the IRCC Help Centre article What happens if my permanent resident card expires while I am outside Canada?:
If you’re outside Canada and don’t have a valid PR card, you need a permanent resident travel document (PRTD) to return to Canada. You can only apply for a PRTD from outside Canada. If you try to return to Canada without a PR card or PRTD, you may not be able to take your flight, train, bus or boat to Canada.
We hope this information is helpful. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to post them here. You may want to contact your local visa office or IRCC via web form for information specific to your situation. You may also want to speak to a reputable and registered immigration consultant or an immigration lawyer about travelling back to Canada without a valid PR card.
Sincerely,
Your Settlement.Org Team
