Replace or renew a permanent resident card

You can apply for another permanent resident card (PR card) if your card:

• has expired or will soon expire,
• has been lost or stolen, or
• has been destroyed.

To replace a PR card, follow the same steps to apply for a permanent resident card. You will need to provide the same documents, including photographs, and pay the $50 fee.

If your card was lost, stolen or destroyed, contact the Call Centre to let us know. You will need to fill in Section F of the application form.

Please note we will only send PR cards to addresses within Canada. There is another process for permanent residents outside Canada without a PR card.

If there is a mistake on your PR card, you can apply for a reissued PR card.
