Service Information
PR Card Renewal
Share
Service Description
It is encouraged for permanent residents of Canada to carry a valid PR card at all times. A PR card allows a permanent resident to show proof of status, but also allows a person to freely travel in and out of the country. If a PR card is within 9 months of expiration, or it has already expired, a permanent resident can submit an application for a new PR card.
In order to renew a permanent resident card, an applicant must submit a complete application in hard copy to one of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC) Case Processing Centres for PR cards. Upon submission, provided that an application is complete and that the permanent resident meets all requirements, a new PR card will be issued.
