PR Card

The PR card is the wallet-sized photo ID proving Canadian permanent resident status, required to re-enter Canada by commercial flight.

Mailed within 60-90 days of landing — ensure IRCC has the correct address. Valid 5 years; renew before expiry/travel. The COPR substitutes for most purposes only within the first year as a PR.
