OVERVIEW

What Is a PR Card?

A Permanent Resident (PR) card is an official document that proves your status as a permanent resident of Canada. It is required for re-entry into Canada when traveling by commercial carrier such as a plane, train, or bus.

PR cards are typically valid for five years and must be renewed before expiry to avoid travel complications.

Who Needs to Renew a PR Card?

You should apply for PR card renewal if:

  • Your PR card has expired or is about to expire
  • You plan to travel outside Canada and need proof of status to return
  • Your card has been lost, stolen, or damaged

Renewing your PR card ensures uninterrupted proof of your permanent resident status.
