When it comes to permanent resident card renewal, you have several options. You can visit your local IRCC office or apply online. In-person applications are quicker and more accessible, and there are fewer surprises during the landing appointment. 

You will need to provide a Canadian mailing address when you apply for a permanent residence card. Your IRCC will not mail you a PR card if you live outside Canada.

  • First, you must have a physical presence in Canada. To renew your permanent resident card, you must have resided in Canada for at least two years out of the last five years. 
  • This is a requirement for renewing your card, and you should be able to demonstrate that you have physically resided in Canada for at least 730 days in the past five years.
  • If you renew your card, make sure you have the necessary documents. 
  • Document Checklist

The documents you need to renew your permanent resident card are governed by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) rules and regulations. For example, you must include the letter of acceptance and enrolment. 

  • The application should be filled out and submitted to the IRCC. You may also need a photocopy of the study permit. Make sure the original is also included with the application.
  • In addition, the application will require you to take an approved language test. If you are a foreign national, you must have the appropriate travel documentation. 
  • The government representative at the port of entry will make an entry decision based on the information you present at the time of entry. 
  • The information contained in the entry tool is based on Orders in Council (OICs) that are currently in effect and their effective dates. 
  • You can also refer to COVID-19 Emergency OICs for reference.
  • Basic Requirements

If you are a Canadian permanent resident and need to renew your PR card, you should follow the simple instructions below. 

  • You can complete the renewal process online. Most of the information needed is already on file. But, be sure to meet the residency requirements for Canadian permanent residents before you apply. For example, you must have lived in Canada for at least 730 days over the past five years, as outlined in questions A-4. Otherwise, you risk losing your permanent residency status.
  • The IRCC processes PR card applications. They usually take 90 days, and applicants should submit their entire application bundle as soon as possible. For regulated Canadian immigration, you should start at least a half year before the expiry date, but if your situation is complex, you should begin a year in advance. The fees vary depending on the type of application you are filing. Once you have the documents and the necessary expenses, you can pay online or pay a fee in installments.
  • Additional requirements to renew a permanent resident card

Renewing your PR card is relatively easy and convenient, and you can even complete the process online with the aid of a regulated Canadian Immigration consultant. Usually, you already have most of the information you need, such as your social insurance number. 

To qualify for permanent residency in Canada, you must have lived for at least seventy days within the last five years. If you don’t meet this requirement, you will be automatically denied and required to apply again.

To maintain Permanent Resident status in Canada, you must spend a certain amount of time in the country. That time does not need to be continuous, though, so any time you spend abroad counts toward your residency requirement. 

Takeaway

You’ve probably wondered what a regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) is and how they can help you. RCICs are licensed to provide immigration services in Canada and are bound by strict codes of conduct. 

These standards help ensure that the immigration consultant you hire can provide professional services beneficial to you. 

They also know how to deal with Canadian immigration authorities, which can be frustrating and time-consuming.
