How do I prove that I need urgent processing for my permanent resident card application?

To support a request to have your permanent resident (PR) card application processed urgently, you need:

• proof of travel (e.g. a copy of your ticket or itinerary) showing your destination and travel dates;
• a copy of your receipt with the date, amount paid, and your payment method;
• a letter explaining the reason for the urgency; and
• proof of the urgency (e.g. a doctor’s note, death certificate, or letter from your employer)

If you forget to include something or your situation does not qualify for urgent processing, we will process your application normally.
