What is the Permanent Resident Card?
The Permanent Resident (PR) Card is a required document for permanent residents, including children who go abroad and then return to Canada by any commercial carrier (plane, train, boat or bus). When you are returning to Canada , you will be asked to present the Permanent Resident Card before you board the carrier or bus that will take you back to Canada . Also, you will need to show your PR Card to the Immigration Officer at the Canadian port of entry to prove your permanent resident status. It is therefore imperative to have your PR Card in hand prior to leaving Canada.

If you are outside Canada and you do not have a valid Permanent Resident Card to return to Canada you will need to obtain a travel document from a Canadian visa office. Immigroup provides assistance in obtaining a travel document for our clients.
