Frequently Asked Questions

When should I renew my PR Card?
You can apply to renew your PR Card when it is expired or when it will expire in less than 9 months.
Can I renew my PR Card if I am outside Canada?
Generally, you must be physically present in Canada to apply for a PR Card. If you are outside Canada without a valid PR Card, you may need a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) to return to Canada.
What if my PR Card is lost or stolen?
You can apply for a replacement and may need to provide information about how the card was lost or stolen.
Does renewing my PR Card renew my permanent resident status?
No. A PR Card is proof of permanent resident status; renewing the card does not itself extend or renew your PR status.
