PR Card Renewal

PR Card Renewal

A permanent resident is someone who has been given permanent residence by immigrating to Canada. Immigration and Citizenship Canada issues the Permanent Resident card (also known as a PR Card) to be used as a valid identification document for people traveling abroad and returning to Canada. As a result, to enter Canada, you must have a valid PR Card.
