Permanent Resident Card Renewal
PR Card Renewal
Renewing your Permanent Resident (PR) card ensures you maintain proof of your status in Canada. This card is essential for travel and identification, and the process must be handled carefully to comply with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) requirements.
Your PR card has an expiry date, so renewal is necessary to maintain valid proof of your permanent resident status. Without a valid card, you cannot travel back to Canada or use it as official ID. Renewal is needed if your card is lost, stolen, damaged, or if you’ve legally changed your name.
