What is the Canada PR Card ?

Becoming a permanent resident of a new country is an exciting
journey, but it also comes with responsibilities and requirements. In
Canada, Permanent Residents (PRs) receive a PR card as proof of their
status. This card is an essential document that allows you to
re-enter Canada after traveling abroad. However, PR cards have an
expiration date, and if yours is nearing expiry, or if you need a PR
Travel Document for international travel, you’ll want to be
well-informed about the renewal and application process. In this
blog, we will guide you through the steps and provide essential
information on PR card renewal and PR Travel Document application.

 

A Permanent Resident Card, commonly known as a PR card, is a
wallet-sized document issued to Canadian Permanent Residents as
evidence of their status. This card is necessary for re-entry into
Canada via commercial airlines, as it is used to prove your permanent
resident status to immigration authorities. PR cards are typically
valid for five years, after which they need to be renewed.

 

When to Renew Your PR Card

 

It’s crucial to keep track of your PR card’s expiration date.
Ideally, you should begin the renewal process approximately nine
months before your card expires. Failing to renew your PR card in a
timely manner could lead to difficulties when returning to Canada
after international travel.

 

Eligibility for PR Card Renewal

 

To be eligible for PR card renewal, you must meet certain criteria,
including:

 

1- Being a permanent resident of Canada.

2- Having physically lived in Canada for at least 730 days (two
years) out of the last five years before applying.

3- Not being inadmissible to Canada.
