Permanent Resident Cards-
When you are travelling, you need a permanent resident (PR) card to prove you’re a PR when you return to Canada. Apply for a PR card or travel document, get urgent processing or check the status of your application. If your PR card expired, you can renew your card. You still have your PR status even if your PR card expired. Returning to Canada without a permanent resident (PR) card You need a valid PR card to return to Canada by plane, train, bus, or boat.
• If you’re outside Canada: apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) to return to Canada
• If you want to leave Canada: renew your PR card before you leave
• If you don’t get your card in time, apply for a PRTD from outside Canada
