We offer comprehensive services to help you renew your Permanent Resident (PR) card smoothly and efficiently. Ensuring you have a valid PR card is essential for maintaining your residency status and traveling freely to and from Canada.
Why Renew Your PR Card?
A valid PR card is proof of your status as a permanent resident in Canada. It allows you to re-enter Canada after traveling abroad and access various services. If your PR card is expired or set to expire within the next three months, it’s time to renew it.
