Obtaining a Permanent Resident Card in Canada
You can use your permanent resident card to prove that you have PR status in Canada. When returning to Canada on a commercial vehicle such as an airplane, boat, railway, or bus, you will be required to show your card and passport. Before returning to Canada in a commercial vehicle, those who do not have a valid PR card or who are not carrying one must apply for a permanent resident travel document.

Canada only provides PR cards to addresses that are located within the nation. You may need to pick up your card in person at one of the Canadian government offices in some situations.
If you discover an error on your PR card, you can request that it be reissued. If a name is too long to fit on the card, we may shorten it. This is not a blunder. Learn how to correct a mistake on your PR card.
