Hello,

I sent in my renewal application via paper (did not apply online) in November 2018.

It was returned to me in January noting that I had paid the incorrect agency.

I immediately couriered my application back with the proper receipt. I have record that it was received on Jan 25 2018. I cannot seem to link my paper application to access the status of my card.

I only have until Feb 22 to cancel my flight to the US without losing any $$. Will I be able to board from Canada to US with my renewal in process?

If it does not come in until the date of my flight--March 19th, can I board from US? It is very difficult to obtain any information with out an identifier number. If I don't receive it, can I apply again online?

Hello,

We can appreciate that you would be interested in finding out what your options are in this situation.

As you may already know, you need a valid permanent resident (PR) card to return to Canada by plane, train, bus or boat. 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.

It may be best for you to contact the IRCC Call Centre directly for some information specific to this situation.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
