PR Card (Canada)

A Permanent Resident (PR) Card in Canada is an official identification document that confirms a person’s status as a lawful permanent resident. It serves as proof of their right to live, work, and study in Canada, and is often required for travel outside the country. The PR Card is valid for five years and must be renewed to maintain the status. It does not make the cardholder a Canadian citizen but grants most rights of citizenship, with some differences. It’s an important document for dual documentation of residence and immigration status within Canada.
