PR Card Renewal

Keep Your Canadian Status Active

PR Card Renewal Services by Cougar Immigration

Is your Permanent Resident (PR) card about to expire—or already expired? If you're a permanent resident of Canada, your PR card is your official proof of status and essential for travel, employment, and re-entry into Canada.

At Cougar Immigration, we make the PR card renewal process easy, accurate, and timely—ensuring you maintain your legal status and mobility without unnecessary stress or delays.

 

When Should You Renew Your PR Card?

Your PR card is typically valid for 5 years, but it doesn’t automatically renew. You should apply for renewal if:

• Your card will expire in the next 9 months
• Your card is already expired
• Your legal name has changed
• Your card was lost, stolen, or damaged
• You need urgent travel and don’t have valid PR proof

Note: Your PR status does not expire, even if the card does—but a valid PR card is required to re-enter Canada by commercial transport.

 

Who is Eligible for PR Card Renewal?

To renew your PR card, you must:

• Be a permanent resident of Canada
• Have physically lived in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) in the last 5 years
• Not be under removal order or have lost PR status
• Be in Canada at the time of application
• Have valid identification and supporting documents

If you're short on days or had long absences, Cougar Immigration can help build a Humanitarian & Compassionate argument or Residency Appeal where needed.
