The Canadian Permanent Resident (PR) Card is issued to every person who is a Permanent Resident of Canada.
Canadian permanent residents planning to re-enter Canada on commercial carriers will be required to show their PR cards to confirm their permanent residence status before boarding.
Canadian Permanent Residents not in possession of a Permanent Resident Card, or whose Permanent Resident Card has expired, must apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) from the nearest Canadian Migration Office in order to travel to Canada on a commercial carrier.
PR Card is valid for 5 years and has to be renewed provided the resident has met the residency requirement of physically residing in Canada for at least 2 years within a 5-year period.
There are numerous advantages to holding Canadian citizenship. Becoming a Canadian citizen comes with benefits that are not available to permanent residents, such as: access to restricted jobs; the right to vote and run for political office; and the ability to travel visa-free to 176 countries in the world.
