How to Renew a PR Card
In order to renew your Permanent Resident Card, you must complete the application form, gather your supporting documentation, pay the fee, and submit the application to the relevant IRCC office.
You should only renew your PR Card if you meet the Residency Obligation. The Residency Obligation is a minimum of 730 days spent in Canada within the last 5 years (i.e. the validity of your PR Card). If you have spent less than 730 days in Canada within the last 5 years, do not renew your PR Card. Instead, spend as much time in Canada as you can before applying for a new card. If you renew your Card without having met the Residency Obligation, you could lose your status. If you have spent less than 1080 days in Canada within the last 5 years, IMMIgroup recommends you wait until you have more days in Canada as well, in order to avoid the Residency Determination, which is a huge hassle; it’s stressful, it’s a lot of work and failure to respond to the Residency Determination could put your status in jeopardy.
