Renewing Your Permanent Resident (PR) Card with Immigration Navigator
At Immigration Navigator, we’re here to assist you with renewing your Permanent Resident (PR) card, ensuring that you maintain your legal status and freedom to travel in and out of Canada. Your PR card is an important document that proves your status as a permanent resident of Canada, and it’s crucial to keep it up to date.
Why You Should Renew Your PR Card
The PR card is typically valid for 5 years, and while it’s not mandatory to have a valid PR card at all times, renewing it is highly recommended—especially if you plan to travel outside of Canada. Without a valid PR card, you may face difficulties re-entering Canada. If you are outside Canada and your PR card has expired, you won’t be able to renew it until you return. Instead, you will need to apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) to demonstrate that you still meet the requirements to maintain your PR status. Once back in Canada, you can then apply for a new PR card.
When and How to Apply for a PR Card Renewal
If your PR card is expired or will expire within the next 9 months, it’s time to apply for a new one. Renewing your PR card will give you a new card with a fresh expiration date, typically valid for another 5 years. To be eligible for a PR card renewal, you must:
- Be a permanent resident of Canada.
- Submit your application while you are in Canada.
Our team at Immigration Navigator will assist you with preparing and submitting your renewal application, ensuring that everything is accurate and complete. We understand the importance of this document and will work diligently to make sure your application process goes smoothly.
