Apply for or Renew Your Canadian Permanent Resident (PR) Card with Ayodele Law

The Permanent Resident (PR) Card is official proof of your status as a lawful permanent resident of Canada. Whether you’re applying for your first PR card, renewing an expired one, or replacing a lost or stolen card, Ayodele Law offers reliable legal support to ensure your status and travel rights remain secure.

What Is a Canadian Permanent Resident Card?

A PR card is issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and serves as:

• Proof of your permanent resident status;

• A valid document required for re-entry to Canada after international travel (when returning by commercial vehicle like a plane, bus, or boat).

New permanent residents automatically receive their first PR card after landing. Existing residents must apply to renew or replace their PR card if it is expired, expiring soon, or lost.

Who Needs a PR Card?

You need a valid PR card if you are:

• A permanent resident of Canada;

• Planning to travel internationally and re-enter Canada by commercial transportation;

• Seeking official documentation to prove your legal status in Canada.

Note: A PR card is not required to live, work, or study in Canada—but is necessary for re-entry.

PR Card Renewal: Eligibility Requirements

To renew your PR card, you must:

• Hold valid permanent resident status;

• Be physically present in Canada for at least 730 days within the last 5 years (with certain exceptions);

• Not be under a removal order or have lost PR status;

• Provide supporting documentation, including travel history and proof of residency.

Common Issues with PR Card Applications

PR card applications may be delayed or refused due to:

• Inaccurate or incomplete forms;

• Failure to meet the residency obligation;

• Lack of supporting evidence;

• Missed communication with IRCC;

• Travel without a valid PR card (resulting in being stranded abroad).
