What is PR Card Renewal?
PR Card Renewal refers to the process of renewing a Permanent Resident (PR) Card in countries that issue these cards to their permanent residents. A PR Card is an official document that serves as proof of a person's permanent resident status in the country.
Who can Apply?
In Canada, the following individuals can apply for PR Card renewal:
- Permanent Residents: Individuals who hold valid permanent resident status in Canada and possess a PR Card that is expired or will expire within the next nine months.
- Residents Meeting Residency Obligation: Applicants must meet the residency obligation to be eligible for PR Card renewal. This involves demonstrating that they have lived in Canada for at least 730 days (two years) within the past five years.
- Individuals with Valid Status: Applicants must have valid permanent resident status at the time of application. If the permanent resident status has been revoked or abandoned, they may not be eligible for PR Card renewal.
When to Apply?
In Canada, it is recommended to apply for PR Card renewal as soon as possible when your current PR Card is expired or will expire within the next nine months. It is important to submit your renewal application before your PR Card expires to ensure that you maintain valid proof of your permanent resident status.
