Don't Let Your PR Card Expire While Outside Canada
An expired PR card does not mean you have lost PR status — but it does mean you cannot board a plane or enter Canada by commercial transport. Renewing requires meeting the 730-day residency obligation (with exceptions for PRs accompanying Canadian citizen spouses or working for Canadian businesses abroad). We calculate precisely and build the strongest application.
