PR Card Collection in Canada !!

[udri]

I work in USA and am planning to apply for the PR Card. I landed in Canada in 2001. I found out that we are not really required to file for our PR Card by Feb 28th. As long as we do the same before December 31st, we are fine. I was wondering during the collection of the PR Card, one is required to show a photo id of Canada. How do one do it, if he/she does not stay in Canda. I have a bank account as well as the SIN Card from Canada. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

You do not necessarily need a photo id
if you call the help line, they will tell you to bring some photo id from ur home country.
It also depends on ur luck at the PR pick up center , they sometimes do not check as long as u have ur passport and landing papers....but don't take this as a guarantee
if you have time, try to get an OHIP card or some other photo id

Hi survivor,

Do you know what kind of questions they ask if you don't have any Can photo ID to pickup the PR card. Please help.
