As a permanent resident of Canada, it’s essential to keep your Permanent Resident (PR) card up to date. Your PR card is proof of your status and allows you to re-enter Canada after international travel. If your card is expiring or has already expired, you’ll need to apply for a renewal to maintain your legal status and avoid complications when traveling.
Who Needs a PR Card Renewal?
You should apply for PR card renewal if:
Your PR card is expiring within the next six months.
Your PR card has already expired.
You lost your PR card, or it was stolen or damaged.
You want to update the information on your card (e.g., name change).
