PR Card – Elegant Immigration Services

The permanent resident (PR) card is your proof of permanent resident status when you return to Canada on a commercial carrier such as a plane, boat, train or bus. Most PR cards are valid for five years and must be renewed or replaced when they expire or are lost.

Who is this for?

New permanent residents whose PR card has not arrived
Permanent residents whose card is expiring or has expired
Permanent residents whose card was lost, stolen or damaged
Permanent residents who need to update their card information
