Maintain Your Status While Returning to Canada

Source Immigration understands the importance of maintaining your permanent resident (PR) status in Canada. If you’re a Canadian permanent resident currently outside the country and your PR card is expiring or has expired, a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) can be your solution.

What is a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD)?

A PRTD is a temporary travel document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) specifically for permanent residents. It allows you to return to Canada and regain your permanent resident status if your PR card is invalid.

Who Needs a PRTD?

You might need a PRTD if you are a Canadian permanent resident who:

  • Are currently outside Canada.
  • Have an expired PR card or your PR card is nearing expiry.
  • Plan to return to Canada by air, land, or sea.

Important Considerations:

  • A PRTD is not a replacement for a PR card. It is solely for re-entry into Canada.
  • PRTDs are typically valid for a single entry only, with limited exceptions.
  • You cannot apply for a PRTD from within Canada.
