HOW TO GET OR RENEW PR CARD FOR CANADA?

Introduction
PR card is an important document for those people
who are seeking the permanent resident in Canada.
They must carry card along with them while
boarding a flight or any other commercial carrier
to the country. Without PR card, a person
wouldnt be permitted to board a flight, bus or
train in Canada. The card is issued to every non-
citizen permanent Canadian resident and has a
fixed validity. If your current card has expired,
then you have to apply for a PR card renewal
before starting your journey.

Validity of pr card
The PR card for Canada is normally valid for 5
years. However, it may be valid for 1 year for
those whose PR status are being assessed by the
IRCC. As permanent residents must meet the
residency guidelines (minimum of 730 days in
every five years) in order to renew PR cards, all
valid PR card holders are deemed to have not lost
permanent resident status and have the right to
enter and remain in Canada during the card's
validity. If, however, the Canada Border Services
Agency (CBSA) officer at the port of entry
considers the permanent resident may not meet the
residency obligation, the person may be reported
to IRCC and may be required to attend a hearing
to determine his or her PR status.
