PR Card Replacement | Sokolov Immigration

If you are a permanent resident of Canada and not a citizen of Canada, your Permanent Resident card (or PR Card) is the document that confirms your status in Canada and that allows you to re-enter Canada on arrival from a foreign country.

Normally, PR Cards are valid 5 years. You should apply for replacement if your card is lost, stolen or destroyed. When you apply for replacement, the Canadian immigration authorities will assess if you are meeting the residency requirement.

If you do not meet these requirements, you still stand a chance to replace your PR card if the officer is satisfied that you fall under one of the exceptions to the 2-year-rule.

Residency Requirement

If you have not lived in Canada for 2 years out of a 5-year period, your time abroad can count for your PR residency requirement in the following situations:

You worked full-time for a Canadian business or organization, or for the Canadian federal, provincial or territorial government
You traveled with a spouse who is Canadian citizen
You traveled with a spouse who is a Canadian permanent resident and who worked outside Canada full-time for a Canadian business or organization, or for the Canadian federal, provincial or territorial government
You are a dependent child who traveled with a parent who is a Canadian citizen
You are a dependent child who traveled with a parent who is a Canadian permanent resident and who worked outside Canada full-time for a Canadian business or organization, or for the Canadian federal, provincial or territorial government
There are Humanitarian & Compassionate Consideratios for your stay abroad.
