Topic: Permanent Resident Card - New Immigrants

aleksandra

my family become permanent residents on March 7. On May 25 we went for holiday without permanent card, because processing time for permanent card was changed from 54 days to 94 days. Fromcic.gc.ca we were told that we can travel just before coming back we have to go in visa center to apply for travel document. When we went to visa center in Vienna they refuse to give us travel document because our permanent resident card was issued the day before on Jun 9. Card is not arrived in our mail box in Canada, we must cancelled our plane tickets, we suppose to start working on Jun 18 but we are steel stuck in Bosnia and Herzegovina. To send Statutory declaration about never received card we have to white one more month( on cic.gc.ca said 6 weeks after card is issued). until that time we are not going to have money to pay mortgage, bills and we will be fired from work. Is there anything that we can do to go back to Canada? we worked hard for so many years on LMO, and did so much paper work to get permanent card and now we are stuck on holiday. People going in Canada like tourist, and we are not allowwd like permanent residents. Thanks!
