Pr Card Renewal

Immigrants in Canada are required to keep their PR cards with them all the time. It allows them to travel within the country and outside it too, very freely. The PR card makes you eligible to access all the facilities given to a Canadian resident. This card works as proof of your residency in Canada and it is quite vital to have. This card expires every 5 years, so you need to fill out a form to apply again. If your PR card has expired or has less than 9 months to expire, then you must apply for it again. To apply for your PR card, you need to submit a copy of your application to IRCC (Immigration, Refugee, Citizenship’s Canada). Remember to follow and maintain all eligibility criteria for it. You have to follow this criterion if you lose your card or it gets misplaced.

Who Can Apply for PR Card Renewal?

  • 1. A person who is a permanent resident of Canada already
  • 2. A person has to submit hardcopy of application
  • 3. A person has to be physically present in Canada

  • 2. If you choose to leave Canada on your own volition.
  • 3. If you get your Canadian citizenship, then you no longer need a PR card.
