When boarding a flight to Canada or traveling to Canada on another commercial airline, permanent residents of Canada must bring and present a valid public relations card or permanent resident travel document (PRTD). If you do not have a PRTD card or PRTD card, you may not be able to board flights, trains, buses, or boats to Canada.

It is your responsibility to verify that your PR card is valid when you return from a trip outside Of Canada and to apply for a new PR card when your current card expires. If your PR card expires, that doesn’t mean you’ve lost your permanent residency.

A permanent resident is a person who has moved to Canada and obtained permanent residency but is not a Canadian national. Permanent residents are citizens of other countries.

In Canada, they are not temporary permanent residents, such as students or foreign workers.

Refugees who settle abroad will be permanent residents through government assistance programs and private refugee assistance programs.

Those applying for asylum in Canada will not become permanent residents at that time. The Migration and Refugee Commission must first approve the application. You will then need to apply for and obtain permanent residency.
