You will need a PR card to enter Canada again. No other document would suffice in this scenario.

Yes. As a PR. you will need a PR card to re-enter Canada. If for some reason you don't have your PR card, you have an option of applying for a travel document to enter Canada. But in this case you will have a hard time explaining your situation to the authorities to get one.

Eventually you will get the travel document. But it's a lot of hassle. You don't know how long are you gonna be stuck in the US. Do you actually wanna go through all the hassle just to meet relatives?

A travel document is always issued from outside Canada. So no....you can't apply for a travel document from within Canada. You will have to wait to get your PR card in order to come back.

You must have a US Visa to travel to USA.

So go to USA First.

Then cross over to Canada before the dead line is up. Cross the border either by road or by flight.

Stay here for even just one day. Complete the formalities. You also know that you will not get your PR Card in 22 days.

So, get out of Canada whenever you feel you have had enough. Either to USA or to...

Hope this helps you a little.

Freddie.
