Hi-
I have a question. I have a friend who is waiting for his Canadian citizenship. He was in Canada for more than three years, but decided to work for a year or so in Singapore before returning to live permanently in Canada. He passed the citizenship test and was interviewd, but he was required to submit additional paperwork. He did, and he's been waiting for a year, and no word. He's patient and will wait until he gets word. He can stay out for another year easily according to the law.
The problem is this, however. He is worrying about his Permanent Residence card that expires in October 2007. Is it difficult to renew his PR card while he is out of Canada, or does he need to fly all the way back to Montreal to renew it? Is the PR card the type of a card that can be renewed in a couple hours, or are you required to wait for a couple months to get it back? I REALLY appreciate a some feedback on this. I hope that renewing a PR card is quite easy. Is It?
