Understanding the Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD)
What is a PRTD ?
The Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) is designed to ensure a smooth re-entry into Canada for individuals facing specific circumstances, such as an expired, lost, or stolen PR Card.

  2. Lost or Stolen PR Card : Accidents happen, and if your PR Card is lost or stolen, navigating international travel becomes challenging. The PRTD becomes a necessary document to ensure your ability to return to Canada.
  3. Damaged PR Card : Physical damage to your PR Card may render it unusable for re-entry. A PRTD becomes crucial in these instances to guarantee a seamless return without put at risk your immigration status.
