PR Card Expired but Need to Travel

|
My wife and I are permanent residents and living in Ottawa.
Our PR card expired in February.
Mid January we applied for a new card.
We meet all requirement for issuing a new card.
My wife now has to travel abroad for work by the end of next week for a period of two weeks. She will be travelling with my 5 year old son who has Canadian citizenship. We haven't received the new card yet even though we marked our application as urgent (as suggested by Immigration).
We found out today that they haven't even started processing the application yet. Can she still return to Canada (i/e board a plane, enter the country) without any problem when she brings a copy of the application, the confirmation of permanent residency etc or does she require a PR Travel Document?
She can pick one up at the VISA Application Centre in Duesseldorf since it is only an hour drive away from where she needs to be, however they are unable (or unwilling) to provide processing time, so it might not even be worth going there. |

Would you happen to know if the application for a PR Travel Document is a same day process. I know it is in Vienna but have no info on Dusseldorf.
She is a Dutch citizen btw.

1. She will need either a PRTD to return to Canada by air. or return by land (non commercial) with a copy of her COPR. |
