Frequently asked questions:
Permanent Resident Card

What if I’m already a permanent resident? How long does it take Citizenship and Immigration Canada to process my application for a new or replacement Permanent Resident Card?

Go to Check how long it may take to process my case in the I Need To… section on the right-hand side of this page. Incomplete applications will cause a delay, so please check that your application is complete and that it includes all the documents required to be processed.
