Permanent Resident (PR) card is the official document that confirms your permanent residency in Canada. Your PR card will be mailed to your address in Canada; you do not need to apply for it. If you travel to another country, your PR card allows you re-entry into Canada, without obtaining a Canadian visa.

 

To find out how long it currently takes to process the PR card or to inform CIC of your address (or address change) in Canada, please visit the CIC website at www.cic.gc.ca
