Hi,

My PR card expires next June 10. So I applied for PR renewal last January. After getting new PR card, is it valid from the date of receiving or just valid from after expiration of old PR card? Also, can I travel abroad with old PR card while new PR renewal application being processed?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

The PR card is valid from the date of issue.

Regarding your old PR card, according to the IRCC Call Centre representatives, they stated that it is possible to continue to use the old PR card while you wait for the new one.

We strongly suggest that you contact some IRCC Call Centre representatives to confirm and verify this information before you make any travel arrangements.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
