When to renew a Canada PR Card?

How to renew a Canada PR Card?
 

A Canada PR card is valid for five years. Candidates can renew their PR card 6 to 9 months before expiration, or they can immediately submit an application if the card has already expired. 

Individuals can renew for a Canada PR in cases like:

• Not receiving their PR card within 180 days after migrating to Canada;
• If the PR card is lost or destroyed,
• Having changed their legal name and want to update the card.

Canada PR holders traveling out of the country must ensure the validity of the PR card at the time of arrival. If the card is invalid, the individual must re-apply for a PR or bring a travel document (IMM 5644). The individuals must apply for a travel document from outside Canada. The PR card can be renewed only within Canada.

Note: The individual does not lose his PR status if the PR card expires.
