Hi,

I am a Permanent Resident since 2010 and my PRC will expire on December 2015. I have applied for a renewal of my PRC since July 2015. I checked the status of my renewal application but it seems like it is not on process yet.
I have to travel overseas from October 2015 and return by the end of November 2015.
I am aware of the Urgent Application Process that CIC offers but this is a sudden trip, so by the time I applied for renewal I did not have a plane ticket yet. I am also thinking that even if I go through this Urgent Application Process now, they might not have enough time to process it anymore since I will be leaving by the end of October which is in 2 weeks.

Is it possible to return to Canada without any problems since I will be back here in Canada before the expiration of my PRC?

I just want to make sure that I would not be in trouble.

Thank you so much.

1. Your PR card will still be valid, when you return, so you won't have a problem boarding a return flight to Canada.
2. As long as you have met the residency requirement, you won't have a problem to re-enter Canada.
