	I don't know the rules of RAMQ, but there is no obligation for a permanent resident to have a PR card at all. The original confirmation of permanent residence, entry stamp in the passport with "PR" handwriting instead of the date until you are admitted, the permanent resident travel document, or the SIN card with a regular number, perhaps all should be acceptable proofs that you are a permanent resident.
