Permanent Resident (PR) Card Renewals

Your Permanent Resident (PR) card is an essential document that allows you to prove your status as a permanent resident of Canada. It is also required for re-entry into Canada after traveling abroad. If your PR card is about to expire or has already expired, it is crucial to renew it in a timely manner to avoid complications when traveling. At Career Wings, we assist with the PR card renewal process to ensure that your application is completed accurately and promptly.

When to Renew Your PR Card?

You should apply to renew your PR card if:

• Your PR card is about to expire within six months.
• Your PR card has already expired.
• You plan to travel outside of Canada and need to ensure you have a valid PR card for re-entry.

Documents Required for PR Card Renewal

To renew your PR card, you will need the following documents:

• A copy of your current PR card (front and back).
• Proof of residency in Canada (e.g., utility bills, lease agreements, or government documents).
• A valid passport or travel document.
• Two recent passport-sized photos that meet the specifications.
• A completed PR card renewal application form.

Eligibility Requirements for PR Card Renewal

To be eligible for PR card renewal, you must meet the residency obligation, which requires you to have spent at least 730 days (two years) in Canada during the last five years. If you don’t meet this requirement, you may still be able to renew your card under certain circumstances, such as accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse or being employed by a Canadian company abroad.
