I first obtained my permanent residence on November 2007.
I went back to my country on January 2009.
Due to medical grounds, I could not come back until this past June 2014.
I applied to retain my residence under humanitarian reasons, in the Canadian Embassy of my country, and it was approved.
It was stamped in my passport and now I need to ask for the card.
I have read that it takes around 119 days for me to obtain the card and I really have an emergency.
My emergency has nothing to do with traveling back to my country, but it has to do with my medical condition.
I need to have an urgent medical checkup, but they will not renew my OHIP card if I do not have my permanent residence card.
Do you know if there is a way to get my permanent residence card sooner then 119 days?
Do you think there is a way I can have a medical checkup without having my permanent residence card with me only using the stamp in my passport?
I have a huge travel walking. During this past years I had three spine surgeries and two hip surgeries, that is why I do need an urgent checkup in order for me to be set to find a job.
I thank you for your kind assistance.
